Greetings Everyone,

Let me start by saying God is doing great things at the Mayuge Christian Education Centre, and He will do even more in 2024. What God is doing is possible because of the support that each one of you give to Global Ministry Partners, both financially and prayerfully. Let me run through what happened in 2023 and then the plans for 2024.

Financially, GMP had its best year to date. We received $69,285 in donations! Praise be to God and thank you all for your generosity. Below is a chart of GMP’s 2023 finances. We started 2023 with a balance of $24,027 and ended the year with a balance of $ 48,236. This balance or reserve, is a combination of funds GMP has set aside for future projects in Uganda (land purchase, farming, vocational programs, village health teams, primary education) and six months of operating expenses (this includes six months of MCEC operating expences).

God is doing great work in Mayuge District Uganda. GMP and MCEC are God’s ministries, we are just the workers. We constantly seek his will for these ministries. We thank you for your support and we are very excited about what God has planned for 2024.

God Bless,
