MDM Mission

Building Self-Sustaining Communities through Strategic Charitable Investments.

MDM Vision

Change the World!

MDM IN A NUTSHELL

Through strategic partnerships, our unique executive staff works with local leaders to build self-sustaining communities in impoverished areas of the world. We do this through one hundred $10,000 projects that our team and local leaders develop.

We value every penny we receive and attempt to run an efficient non-profit organization that maximizes every investment for the betterment of a community.

Taking a holistic approach to community problem solving allows for true development that is long lasting and self-sustaining.

Million Dollar Miracle has a long term goal of partnering with other non-profits that are doing great things.

The Local Leader

Reverend Henry Nsubuga is the local leader that we have partnered with to drive change.

Reverend Henry is now 43 years old and has three children. He is the founder and senior pastor of Living Word Temple Ministries and the Oasis of Life Orphanage in the Wakiso District near Kampala, Uganda; he is also the district overseer of National Fellowship of Born Again Pentecostal Churches. In all, Rev. Henry oversees roughly 1450 Churches with passion, devotion, and self-sacrificial love.

During the war of Idi Amin, former President of Uganda, two soldiers shot Rev. Henry in both legs. The soldiers thought they had killed him until they came back five hours later to take his clothes and found him still alive. One of the soldiers yelled, “Kill Him, Finish Him!” One of the other soldiers thought they should get going, so they left him there to die. Rev. Henry couldn’t move, but just lie in a pool of his own blood. In the morning he was found and was taken care of; he can now walk normally and is thankful for every breath.

After seeing people suffer from war, AIDS, and hunger, Rev. Henry made his life mission to serve his people. One day, he asked his wife and God, “How can I give when I have nothing?” After thoughtful prayer and in talking with his wife, he decided to sell all of his property to buy land for The Living Word Church and beds/blankets for local orphans at the Oasis of Life Orphanage.

The People We Serve

Our current Million Dollar project is in the Wakiso District of Uganda, Africa, specifically the members and orphans of Living Word and Oasis of Life Orphanage. A woman who believed in the church sold her property to fund the resurrection of the church; the church is not complete yet.

Million Dollar Miracle works with men, women, youth, and the elderly. Different projects focus on addressing the unique needs of the different groups so that MDM can act accordingly to positively influence the lives of everyone.

There are many orphans who have been abandoned, lost their parents from AIDS, and have been victims of the war and the rebel army, in the northern part of Uganda. One boy Joshua is a 13 year old that was abducted by the rebel army for three years and forced to kill and burn his parents. Many of the children are in desperate need of counseling.

There are roughly 55 children that live in the home (as that is all that fit) and another 100 children that sleep in the church at night for comfort and to avoid getting kidnapped at night by the rebel army. Additionally, another 75 children are being taken care of in the homes of the members of the church around the Wakiso District. There are many more children that the church would like to help.

While the people have many needs, they are rich in hope and life. Amidst the chaos, they are a strong community that simply needs tools to survive.

The Executive Board contains a wide range of business professionals that bring different talents and backgrounds to the team. The Board's primary mission is to help create the development plan in close collaboration with the local community.
