Friends,
HOPE! This has been a consistent theme over the past year as we have seen children and families impacted by the love of Christ. From an organizational level we have grown in size, hired new staff, built new buildings, added new partners, and expanded our reach. It is for these reasons we have incredible hope that God will continue to impact lives through Makarios. All of this has been possible because of your prayers and support. You are changing lives for eternity!
Our Family Empowerment program has continued to flourish and lives are being transformed. We have increased the literacy rate amongst our parents, family members came to know Christ, and much needed education continues to be provided to our families. The Groups Ministry program hosted teams from all over the United States and have begun partnering with new local organizations in the community to further our vision. The Makarios school has received its official Dominican accreditation and is now serving 190 students from 3-15 years old.
We have hired staff in key leadership roles which has given us greater capacity for growth as we prepare for expansion. With their professional experience and focus on the mission of Makarios, our new staff has already had a significant impact on the financial stability and strategic vision of our growth.
The progress on our new school building has been exciting to see! We are on schedule to have the first of three school construction phases complete for the start of the 2018-19 school year.
The vision of Makarios is to see people serve Jesus Christ and to break the cycle of poverty. With your support we are accomplishing just that, you play a major role in it becoming a reality, and for that I am grateful.
With Gratitude,
Chris Buster
Executive Director | Makarios
