Clear Call

Summer 2026

Dear Friends,

Please find our summer edition of Clear Call here, just click to read.

There are two places near the bottom of our street where some hapless soul with a spray can has graffitied the word “WHY”.

I don’t know what irritates me more: the fact that someone feels that they can deface other people’s property, or the fact that they failed to include the question mark that good grammar requires!

“Why?” can be a great question in the right context, especially “why do we do what we do”.

Recently I carried out a personal growth exercise which brought me face to face with the “why?” question. The exercise required that I think about what makes me happiest, most satisfied and most alive? My considered, then somewhat giddy response was “Gospel Transformation!”

I love to witness the change the Gospel makes in myself, in others and in society. I’ve found my God glorifying “why?”.

This edition is all about the Gospel Transformation that goes beyond the personal. While we can never forget the impact of the Gospel on individual lives, we often argue that the love of God extends to the day-to-day issues of life including homelessness, hunger, social exclusion and poverty.

The result of our work can be measured in social impact – the difference we make in the local communities we serve – and that has value at many levels.

We’ve called this edition “For What It’s Worth…”. We hope it will give some insight into the difference that is generated through your partnership with MCM.
