    Let's Build It! Campaign
    Let's help one family's dream for a home become a reality!

    Our 'Let's Build It!' Campaign is coming to the end!

     

    You donated your time and your talents and faithfully gave.  Construction is complete.  We have reached our fundraising goal and because of your generosity, we were able to purchase a wonderful housewarming gift for Xavier and his girls. Giavonni and Honesty will be very surprised when they see their new swing set in the backyard of their new home. Please watch for details about the upcoming home dedication…we are targeting December.

    Thank you again MPC - You Built It!

    That deserving family is single dad and delivery driver Xavier Jones and his two daughters, Giavonni and Honesty.Xavier Jones and his two daughters, Giavonni and Honesty

    (Pictured here with his girls and girlfriend) When asked why he wanted to purchase a home, he shared that as a young father he wanted to provide them a better lifestyle and an opportunity for them to have a space they can call their own.

    We look forward to you being a part of God’s kingdom work.

    Let’s build it again MPC!
