Latest Notes on the Transition
As you all know, we are in the midst of some big transitions in our staff and Board of Elders, all around MCC. We are not unlike so many other organizations that are cutting back on staff and managing operations through a time of budget-cutting. And we have to do this at a time in which there is so much more demand globally for our ministry.
