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 project, connecting up to 30 primary schools in UK and Malawi.

 
 

Please pray for:

  • Pray that pupils and teachers, both here and in Malawi, will continue to be inspired and uplifted through these links and that their lives will be enriched by shared experiences.

  • Ask for God’s guidance in deepening relationships, cultivating compassion and nurturing mutual respect in every interaction.

  • Pray that the exchange of communication, ideas and projects brings hope, joy and a lasting positive impact to both communities.

  • Pray for all staff and volunteers involved, asking for wisdom, energy and encouragement as they continue to nurture and support these valuable partnerships.

  • Remember especially Tristan and Tamara—the link coordinators in the UK and Malawi. Pray that God will bless them with wisdom, joy and strength as they guide and support the connections between schools and that they will feel encouraged in their vital roles.

  • Pray for wisdom, clarity and creativity as we plan for the next academic year. Ask that God will guide teachers, staff and coordinators in preparing meaningful activities and resources that foster growth, learning and connection for all involved. May every decision made reflect hope, inclusiveness and a shared vision for brighter futures in both the UK and Malawi.

Please praise for:

  • We praise God for the gift of partnership—for the vibrant connection between our schools and Starfish Malawi and for the bridges of friendship and understanding being built across continents.

  • We give thanks for answered prayers—the successful exchanges, the growth in mutual respect and the inspiring stories of lives touched in both countries.

  • We celebrate the creativity and dedication of pupils and teachers who share their gifts, ideas and cultures through projects and learning together.

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.
