FROM THE EXECUTIVE PRESIDENT GCB
Dear Friends and Partners,
With hearts full of gratitude, we celebrate God’s enduring faithfulness through the
joint ministry of the Graceland Church of Beatitudes (GCB) and the Umar Benjamin
Medical and Endowment Foundation (UBMEF). Driven by our shared commitment,
we continue to transform lives spiritually, socially, and physically. This past year, we
celebrated a monumental milestone: the successful translation of the first five books
of the New Testament. By bringing God’s Word to communities in their own
language, we are opening vital new doors for evangelism, deep discipleship, and
lasting spiritual growth. Simultaneously, our community development and
healthcare initiatives are reshaping everyday realities. Through clean water projects,
sustainable agriculture, tree-planting campaigns, and free medical services, we are
empowering families and strengthening local communities. In tandem with these
efforts, we have planted new churches and revitalized existing fellowships—
expanding our reach and deepening our impact. Even in the face of rising regional
challenges and insecurity, GCB remains’ a beacon of hope. We continue to provide
critical relief assistance, free healthcare, and compassionate support to vulnerable,
underserved populations. Looking ahead, our mission remains unchanged. We press
forward in Bible translation, church planting, humanitarian aid, and community
development. Thank you for standing beside us. Your faithful partnership is changing
lives and advancing God’s Kingdom in remarkable ways.
In His Service,
UmarBenjamin Simon
Executive President, GCB
