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,

“Pray without ceasing” 

This month we invite you to pray for our Schools Linking work both in Malawi and the UK.

This programme is aimed at building good relationships with the schools in each country to enable the students to learn more about each other’s cultures to expand their awareness of global matters.

 
 

Please pray for:

  • The educational work in schools in UK and Malawi in this new academic year

  • The planning and preparation done by Tristan in the UK and Charity in Malawi, so that their times in the schools can be beneficial.

  • The “live links” between the schools in each country, that the children will learn from them.

  • Safety in travel to each school, many of which are in remote rural areas in Malawi.

  • The development of the new Global Child resources and teaching surrounding it.

  • The development of Bible Explorer in both the UK and Malawi schools to share God's word to more children and underline our key aim of “Building the Kingdom of God in the lives of children”

  • The link coordinator in each school, that they will be active and effective in their role.

  • Schools to be passionate about the programme and encourage their students about it.

  • For good use of all the resources on the Starfish website.

Praise for:

  • The number of children who are impacted by the programme in the UK during school visits.

  • The good involvement from all schools in this year’s sunflower growing competition

  • The enthusiasm of the children when the Starfish teams visit them.

  • The willingness and the eagerness of schools not only to link with the Malawi school but to develop the link as well.

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”

We also want to share with you of the sad news that Mark Aldrich has died suddenly of a stroke.

He was our Trusts and Grants Officer and has been part of the Starfish team for many years. He will be sadly missed by us all.

Please pray for his parents and his brother and family at this sad time.
