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.

Dear Friends,
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfil the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2)
Please join with us in prayer as Malawi faces huge increases in the cost of living which is badly affecting the lives of many people in the rural areas where we are working.
Please pray for:
Cost of living crisis: Pray for families across Malawi who are struggling with rising costs and limited access to essential goods. Ask for provision, wisdom and practical support for those facing financial hardship.
Fuel shortages: Pray for a reliable supply of fuel and for the safe, timely transport of food, medicines and other essential resources. Pray that communities will not be further disadvantaged by shortages.
Families and children: Pray for the families and children in the communities served by Starfish Malawi, especially those experiencing hunger, uncertainty or difficulty accessing education and healthcare. Ask for protection, strength and the support they need to flourish.
Starfish Malawi staff: Pray for the staff as they respond to increasing needs and work under pressure. Ask for renewed energy, wisdom, encouragement, safety and the resources necessary to serve the children and families effectively.
The government: Pray for national and local government leaders to act with wisdom, integrity and compassion. Ask that they make decisions that address the cost-of-living crisis, improve access to fuel and protect the most vulnerable people.
Local leaders: Pray for chiefs, community leaders, churches and other local representatives as they support their communities. Ask for cooperation, fairness and practical solutions that reach those most in need.
Starfish projects: Pray for the ongoing work and projects of Starfish Malawi. Ask for the funding, supplies, partnerships and staff capacity needed for each project to continue and to respond well to changing circumstances.
Help and assistance: Pray that individuals, churches, organisations and donors will be moved to provide timely and appropriate assistance. Ask that support will be well co-ordinated, reach the right people and bring lasting hope.
Hope and resilience: Pray for strength, unity and hope throughout the communities. Ask that people will support one another and that children and families will experience care, dignity and encouragement during this difficult season.
