Our Prayer Focus
We want to provide you with up-to-date information about one of our projects each month so that you can pray into the work that we are doing in Malawi and become more aware of what is happening throughout the year. We hope you find these informative and a useful tool for prayer.
““Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful” - Colossians 4:2”
April 2024
Prayer is such a powerful tool for all Christian ministry.
Thank you for joining with us in prayer as we focus on our work in Malawi.
April Prayer Focus – this month we would invite you to pray about the food situation in Malawi and for the UK team’s visit to the projects starting on 15th April.

The food situation is Malawi is getting worse, as the country is facing a second wave of El Nino induced drought in three months, which has withered thousands of hectares of maize crops and poses a severe threat to Malawian food security.
In one district 79% of the crop has dried up. This dry spell comes at a bad time, as Malawi is already facing vast food shortages which is affecting nearly 25% of the population.
According to News Talk, eight million people in Malawi could soon be left hungry due to the rapidly worsening impact of climate change.
Please Pray for:
A return of sustainable rain
Provision of essential food for those who are worse affected.
The government to have guidance in distributing maize through their fund.
The Starfish team as they interact with communities in need.
Farmers who have seen their new maize crop wither and die.
Farmers as they seek to do a second sowing of maize.
For other essential food to be made a priority for those with shortages.
For God to sustain the people during this ongoing crisis.
The upcoming visit by Chris, Yuri, Peter and Emmanuel will be a time to meet staff and project leaders and to see how many of the projects and work are developing. It will be a busy two weeks for them!
Please pray for:
Good health for all on the trip
Safe and stress-free travel
God given wisdom and guidance in all meetings and project visits.
Good opportunities to talk to children and families connected to the projects.
Discernment as the team seek to prioritise what needs to be achieved during the trip.
Times to rest and relax.
Starfish was born to create a world of difference, one by one!
“Without prayer, we can do nothing, for God provides for us and
those we seek to serve”
