We are in search of individuals who have seen the value of Uplift Mid-MO and would be willing to share some short testimony of how it has impacted you or your church.

Uplift Mid-MO Q3 Activity Report: Clients referred – 63 Financial Assistance Offered – $3,910.34 for 14 various services Intakes – 16 8 housing payments Open Cases – 6 1 payment for sewer and water 1 payment for transportation 2 payments for supplies for home startup 2 referrals for counseling There continues to be an increase in referrals to Uplift Mid-Mo. As you can see, not every referral becomes an open case – there are many reasons for this, including lack of contact information, resource information only provided, and duplicate submissions, but often due to the evaluation process for each referral. Uplift strives to be a “gap ministry”(assisting when the criteria of other agencies can’t be met), we evaluate the ability of the assistance Uplift offers to assist in the sustainability of the individual’s independence, and we are faith-based and faith supported by our church partners. The mission of Uplift Mid-Mo is to create unity in the body of Christ by supporting local missions and outreach in Audrain County by providing valuable resources to those in need and effectively lead the lost to Jesus Christ. This is the ultimate goal of Uplift Mid-MO with your support.
