Partnering

Its not uncommon when we read the bible to see where many of the apostles were accompanied by others for security, companionship, survival and to share living expenses. Not much has changed since those times, examine your life growing up, how your parents may have bartered services or goods with others in the neighborhood or community.

Growing up on a produce farm, I was immersed in bartering at an early age through the time I graduated high school. Our need for partnering has not changed since biblical times. Today one might partner with someone for accountability or for companionship.

Our needs at MGO are no different, we need partners private and cooperate. Our mission needs far exceed our personal gifts and in some cases required our partner directors in the Philippines to shutdown part of their teach ministry to conserve funding for more essential project.

Ministries such as ours requires both one time and continual sponsorship from partners here at home and around the United States. Our commonality is our following one of the basic tenants of Christianity, which is Love Others as you would have them Love You.

Our mission centers around the love for those called to ministry in Mindanao. Churches are growing in number and need. Without our involvement over the past two years none of this would have been possible. A little goes a long way. Gifts of $20.00 a month supports a minister throughout the year, gifts of $100.00 a month builds, dedicates and staffs a new church.

In the  past two years over 58 churches have been built and staffed with ministers who tend to congregations of over 27,000 regular attendees and the numbers are growing. Your partnership is essential to our continued growth and the spreading of the Gospel to the people of Mindanao.
