Ministry in Malawi

Praise God! The Lord is doing amazing work. TNI has sent me to Malawi where I have been for a week now and will be for two more before returning to West Africa. It has been an honor to visit with and join the ministries here that God is doing mighty things through.

Dzaleka refugee camp is the focus of most of the ministries. There are thousands of refugees living here from all over Africa. Losing everything having to flee a war-torn country hope seems lost but God is here and is doing incredible work. A group of believers from the camp started a ministry called Breath of Life. Where they have been helping many people through discipleship, prayer and worship groups, training young at risk youth how to sew and more. From this ministry came the partners for the Bethlehem Christian Academy school here in Malawi reaching the children from Dzaleka refugee camp. TNI also has seven churches in partnership throughout the area.

The BCA school here provides Christian education a school uniform and food every day. This is a huge blessing to the kids and families. For some of the students the only meal they will have in a day is at BCA. I am honored to be here and having the opportunity to lead some of their morning devotions and teach Bible Knowledge to the students.

I have had the wonderful opportunity to worship at Canaan Baptist Church Malawi. It has been a true joy studying the Word of God together and worshiping Him in many different languages. I have the privilege to lead some of the Bible studies in the next two weeks, please pray that the LORD guides me and His truth is shared.

I had the pleasure of being present at the celebration of 127 Collective ministry moving into their own building. This ministry has moved me in the short time I have known about it. 127 was named after the verse James 1:27 about reaching widows and orphans. The women that work at 127 are widows from war-torn countries. They had to flee and now live in Dzaleka refugee camp. There, they had no way of making money to feed their children or themselves. Some of which were taken advantage of and exploited while just trying to feed their children. 127 provides dignified work with a purpose where they can ask find support, biblical counseling and spiritual support. If you would like to know more about the ministry, please click the link below. You can purchase a handmade item from these women. Also, keep a look out on March 20th on the 127 website for a new drop.

Restoring Dignity. Renewing Hope

James 1:27

“Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”

Please be in prayer for the work God is doing here. Pray for the believers here that God would provide for them and their faith would be strengthened. Please pray for the students at the BCA school that they would come to know the LORD. Pray for the women that work at 127 Collective for their safety and the deepening of their faith. Pray for the ministry as it grows may the LORD provide and guide. Also, please pray for yourself and how you might be able to get involved. We are not called to do nothing. Pray and ask God how He wants you to join the work He is doing.
