Can you believe we have been in our new building for over three years already? Over the last three years, our facilities have been well utilized. We average over fifty events a week in our buildings! The reality is that ministry for Mt. Gilead today includes things like buildings and mortgages. In order to position us well for the future, we want to begin getting even more aggressive in paying down our debt. Paying off our debt early will open up many ministry opportunities in the coming years.

In 2022, our desire is to expand our recovery ministry. On Monday nights, we host a growing recovery ministry that is literally saving lives and pointing people to Jesus. Our long-term goal is to start recovery houses for men and women in Mooresville that need a live-in program to get back on track. With this seed fund, we will be able to explore the best ways to expand our recovery ministry. Additionally, we want to continue connecting people with mental health needs to Christian counselors - including students and first responders.

Many of our missionaries have strategic needs, and there are two we’d like to focus on this Christmas. First, we want to partner with Hippo Valley Christian Mission in Zimbabwe, Africa to help them build a new high school. HVCM currently operates 27 schools and Living Proof High School will be their 28th Christian school. This new school will give kids sponsored by the Living Proof ministry a chance at a quality Christian education. Second, we want to help our mission partners in Canada re-launch a church plant. Churches in Canada have been hit hard through the pandemic with stringent lockdowns. Our goal is to provide them with all the tools they need to re-launch a thriving church.
