Giving God glory, we have established 12 stand-alone welding shops through his MCM work. 

The above picture is our Metal Fabrication Shop and Welding School which is the largest fabrication shop in western Nepal. This is a Business as Missions (BaM) project that we anticipate replicating in some of our other ministry countries.

These are actual welding shops that are mainly used for welding and generating income for the prior students. 

All equipment and welding machines are purchased by our ministry partners and donors, and then presented by MCM and given to the business, with a local established Christian organization overseeing the business.

We have trained approximately 279 students over the past 8 years! Class sizes have ranged from 

4 to 16 students at one time. We prefer to have 

no more than 8-10 students/class, per instructor. 

Because of our teaching these men and women, over 500 people are now welding for a living and providing for their families. Some graduates have started their own welding shops and then hired and trained their employees. 

In Nepal alone, we have trained over 110 men, and as a result of that training, there are at least 61 active welding businesses, several of which employ more than 50 people!

Church & Community Shops. These are welding shops co-located within a church or other community building that the graduated students can use to generate personal income. A small fee is paid to the church, school, daycare, or community center for the use of the equipment or to a per-arranged purchase plan. This way, everyone receives an income from the welding equipment provided to them without cost from MCM.

It is our desire to ensure that as many people benefit from this one resource as possible, stretch the monetary donations as far as possible, and help as many people as we can in the precious name of Jesus.
