Meet the Team

Driven By Relationship

The heart of MGK is people. If you want to visit MGK, we wouldn’t take you to the resource center. We wouldn’t show you our most successful project. We wouldn’t show you a plant or a mud stove, we would take you out to the village. We would sit down on the porch among people….our friends. MGK exists to help create networks of people in order to create ripples of reconciliation throughout the social fabric. Relationships provide the context where resources and hope can merge. The basis of redeeming synergy is found in loving our neighbor.
