An African proverb says, “It takes a village to raise a child.” Now imagine what a transformed village could mean in the lives of children. Our work in one village in Mulanje, Malawi has already brought significant transformation through its Christian orphanage and preK-early elementary schooling. Now, we are starting a high school for all the children in the village. Education transforms the community and even the country: it reduces poverty by raising average annual gross domestic product (GDP) growth. Wages, agricultural income and productivity are higher where women involved in agriculture receive a better education. This school will be a light shining on a hill, providing an education to those who otherwise would have no opportunity to attend school, and sharing the love of Jesus in a predominately Muslim part of Malawi, transforming a village with the love of Jesus. We hope to raise $15,000 for the school, which will provide schooling for up to 100 children for 2 years.
Advent Offering Update:
Thank you SFC for your generous response to provide a mechanical rice dryer for Sola Gratia Ministries in the Philippines! Thanks to you, we reached our hoped-for goal of $20,000. The rice dryer will provide tangible support for pastors, as well as enhance their existing ministries of church planting and new pastor discipleship. The rice dryer is a big step forward in becoming financially self-sufficient as it will allow them to store dried rice to be milled or sold at the most advantageous price. It will be the only mechanical dryer in town, so many farmers will use it, thus providing additional income for the ministry as well as providing employment for local Christians. Your gift provides employment for Christian workers, and helps bring Sola Gratia one step closer to financial self-sufficiency, building on the investment we made in 2007 by helping them buy rice fields. Thank you so much!
