The work of MCC goes on, even during an unprecedented global pandemic. What does it look like to continue fulfilling partner requests for assistance when the physical space that has housed these activities is not open to the public?

We praise our God for having brought us thus far. Although we @BicCds haven't operated normally since March last year, we atleast managed to score victories within the context of our programming and we owe all this to the Most High! Happy New Year to you

There are people God has in your life right now that need your healing. They need your love; they need your kindness. Be on the lookout. Live with the attitude, “Who can I bless today? Who can I help heal? Who can I push into their destiny?”

[Mennonite Central Committee @mccpeace]

"Advocacy is like hope, and it does make a difference.... As you raise up your voice, you join MCC’s partners around the world who are actively living out the hope that together we can bring the world closer to God’s Kingdom."
