Smiles 2025: A Time to Prepare

July is a great time for both individuals and congregations to jump in and be a part of the MPC initiatives that help provide a Christian education, food, clothes and fun for needy children. Three initiatives underway include Smile Boxes (Smiles 2025), as well as Kids Against Hunger/MPC Food Packing events and the preparation for Kingdom Kids gifts.

• Smile Boxes 
  • Congregations work as a team to assemble boxes of prescribed items for kids in need, showing them that they are loved and remembered.
  • For more information see the Smiles Brochure 
  • Deadline for Smiles 2025 is September 1st.​
• Gift Preparations for Kingdom Kids
  • ​Many of our sponsors like to provide end-of-year gifts for the children they sponsor.
  • If you are a sponsor, funding for the gifts can be provided through your online accounts or sent to: 
    • Highway Church of Christ, 128 Highway Lane, Judsonia AR 72081.
    • Be sure to annotate that the funds are for a gift.
    • Our wonderful Kingdom Kids staff purchases and delivers them and provides a picture for sponsors.
    • Deadline to provide funding is September 1st.
• Kids Against Hunger/MPC Food Packing Events
  • In just a couple of hours, gathering your congregation to pack meals will have a powerful impact on so many lives.
  • On average 50 Volunteers can pack around 10,000 meals/hour! Smaller groups can participate!
  • For more information on hosting a food packing event, email Benny@misionparacristo.com.​

MPC Ministers Blazing the Trail

On May 30, 2025,  MPC honored seven of our preachers who graduated from the International Bible Institute of Texas, with a Bachelors Degree in Biblical Studies.  This was the first live graduation for ministers from MPC.  The graduates included:

• From Jinotega:  Alberto, Genaro, and Jose;
• From Managua: Fernando:
• From Matagalpa:  Julio;
• From Bocay: Hector; and
• From Pantasma: Angel.

The ministers began the online program in 2020.   We applaud their motivation, dedication, commitment and desire to serve our Lord and His Kingdom.  It was a joyous occasion, made even more special by the presence of Steve Austin, Director of IBIT, who joined us via Zoom to for the graduation ceremony.
