Our Vision

visionMGK Beginnings…

MGK started in 2006 with a dream to help identify and connect localresources to the people of the Niassa highlands. It began with two families praying for a way to make a difference in their community and has since grown to over 13 families working and supported by the resource center of MGK. Our vision has always been to facilitate creative development among rural villages using the available technologies and resources that are renewable and local. We believe there is nothing greater than the ability to create life. This vision necessitates a journey toward hope and justice in the lives of anyone who comes in contact with MGK. We also believe community development begins in the development of the family and the unique causes of injustice and struggle as well as a family’s distinct hope for it’s future.  Because of this we treat poverty not with sweeping solutions but with listening ears and desiring to journey with them and better ourselves together.

vision-03MGK is driven by these values…

  • We will strive to germinate life through creative development and the justice it brings to a community.
  • We will honor equality. We are one with our neighbors and their desire to experience life for their children.
  • Transparency will be the fertile ground from which life will evolve. Our journey is linked with our neighbor’s and therefore should be completely open to them.
  • We will seek to be good stewards of the resources that God gives us. We know that if we can honor the small plot of land and the people around it, the influence of MGK will grow and multiply accordingly.
  • We will always be in complete cooperation with our neighbors. We do not pretend to have the answer to third world problems. But combined with the hopes of our neighbor we can cultivate ideas that will further the development of our nation.

MGK seeks to impact first and foremost the village of Nomba, Mozambique where 2500 people living high on a rural plateau 60 miles east of the great lake Malawi. These are the people most dear to us who have become our brothers and sisters. Secondly, we work with local Co-ops that are spread out over a 30 mile radius. We will partner with anyone willing to work towards change and justice regardless of ethnicity, gender, or religion.
