Makarios

It was a great time at the World Missions Conference at New Hope Community Church! We're thankful for the chance to share about Makarios and all that God is doing through this ministry.

A special shoutout to Benja and Vierka, who are also serving alongside the church during GO Week. Thank you for your hearts to serve and for partnering with us to make a difference in our communities!

Another victory for Makarios! Our leadership students just crushed districts and are officially headed to REGIONALS in the United Nations Leadership Program!

To succeed at this level, you need two things: strong communication and exceptional teamwork. Our students demonstrated both, earning Best Oratory (Master Communicators) and Best Delegation (Ultimate Team Players).

Regionals is going to demand even deeper critical thinking and high-pressure focus, but this crew is ready. Let’s bring it home!

Thank you, One Day Closer, for a wonderful week at Makarios! We’re grateful for the way your team served, encouraged, and invested in our students, families, and staff. Your partnership and presence made a meaningful impact, and we loved having you with us!

As our newly graduated school leaders step into the 1-year Activation Phase, they are heading directly into their schools to minister to the families of their students. They are doing incredible, life-changing work, but they can't do it alone.

Please join us in praying for these leaders today. Pray for their strength, their wisdom, and for open hearts among the families they will be serving in Pader. Your support means the world to them and to us!

Graduation from the first phase is not the finish line—it’s the starting line. 💙

Our graduates are now stepping into the Activation Phase of the Equipping Program, where the next year will be focused on putting what they’ve learned into practice through real-world leadership and service.

At Makarios, we believe growth happens through both teaching and walking alongside one another in community. 🙏

We are excited to see how God continues to work through these leaders as they serve and strengthen their communities in the year ahead. ✨

“Being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” — Philippians 1:6

We are grateful to welcome Logos Preparatory Academy as they serve alongside the Makarios community this week. 💙

From teaching classes at Mak School to learning about Dominican culture and healthy missions, their time here is centered on faith, service, and connection.
For more than 10 years, Logos Prep has faithfully sponsored the Makarios Class of 2026—a beautiful example of long-term partnership and encouragement through Christ-centered community. ✨

“That is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.” — Romans 1:12 🙏

In the middle of difficult days, we experienced the beauty of unity in Christ. 💙

Our friends at Shine the Light came alongside us with food and water as we worked to clean and restore our facilities after the flood. Their presence reminded us that we are not walking this road alone.

And just last week, they surprised us again—bringing essential supplies for our art classroom, helping restore not just spaces, but moments of creativity and joy for our students.

“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2

We are celebrating a meaningful milestone in Uganda. 💙

Congratulations to our newest graduates! These dedicated school leaders have officially completed the first phase of our Equipping Program.

The past nine months have been both rigorous and deeply rewarding—marked by learning, perseverance, and steady growth rooted in their commitment to serve their communities well.

We are grateful to witness their dedication and the way they continue to show up for the students and families they lead.

God is faithful in every step of this journey.

“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.” — Proverbs 16:3

We are excited to share the 2026 Makarios Impact Report. 💙

This past year has been filled with stories of restoration, growth, faithfulness, and lasting hope. Through Christian education, family empowerment, leadership development, and community partnerships, we continue to see God moving in powerful ways across the Dominican Republic and Uganda.
None of this happens alone.

Because of your prayers, generosity, and partnership, students are learning, families are being strengthened, and communities are being spiritually restored through the love of Jesus Christ.

We invite you to take a few moments to celebrate all God has done and read the full report at the link below. 🙏
