A Note from the Executive DirectorSpring 2019

Dear MJM Friends and Families,

In a recent interview for the Director position for Mount Jubilee’sDevelopmental Day Program “His Path”, the applicant wasasked, what would be your primary short term goal and yourprimary long term goal if selected as the Director of HisPath. The immediate response was, “to love on the participantsunconditionally as much as possible and to be a beacon of hopefor families caring for individuals with intellectual anddevelopmental disabilities." That answer clearly defines whoMount Jubilee Ministries is and why we exist.

Without a doubt, God’s hand is in the midst of the work being done at MJM. We havehad an extremely busy winter. On January 1st, MJM moved into our first physical officelocation. It is great to have a place to call home at Mission First in Reidsville. Once wesettled in, we hosted an event entitled “Because You Walk With Us” on February 7th, where we recognized our 2018 donors and premiered “MJM Voices”, a promotionalvideo of the ministry. On February 23rd, we had 20 thought leaders around the table fora leadership training, “MJM 2.0”. Then on March 14th MJM hosted our Spring TouchPoint Seminar focusing on financial planning for special needs families. This is not tomention planning a fabulous week of Camp Jubilee 2019 and the development of thenew day program, His Path scheduled to launch July 1st. Many volunteers have been onthe ground, working diligently behind the scenes to advance the visions of MJM.

Undoubtedly, MJM moves forward because of the commitment and dedication of ourfaithful families, friends and volunteers. We are happy to present this newsletter to helpyou to stay informed of all that is going on with the ministry. Additionally, we are very

pleased to present our 2018 financial reports. God has been so faithful to MJM throughHis continued provisions.

I remain blessed to be serving with this incredible organization.

Sincerely,

Cecil Cottrell
