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” 

Please join with us this month in prayer for the work at Hope Clinic and for the ongoing work to get the Maternity wing open to receive mothers and babies.

Your prayerful support is much appreciated. We know that so many of you are persevering in prayer for all of our projects.

 
 

Maternity facility

Please pray for:

  • The staff team at the clinic, they will be diligent in their work and respond well and efficiently to the needs of children and adults that come to the clinic.

  • For the health assistants as they visit the community, attending to needs at home.

  • For the ancillary staff as they support and help the clinicians in running to clinic.

  • Each patient as they attend the clinic will be able to be seen without too long a wait, be calm, able to describe their ailment to the staff coherently and not be anxious if injections are needed.

  • Enough medicines to be available in the pharmacy so that those who need them will not have a long-wasted journey.

  • The awaited visit of the Medical Council to sign off the construction and equipping of the Maternity facility allowing an opening date to be fixed in the near future.

  • Expectant mothers in the community, currently needing to travel a long distance to hospital to give birth.

  • Adequate ongoing funding resources for the maternity facility so it can be a huge benefit to the area.

 
 

Patients in waiting room

Please praise for:

  • The dedicated medical officers who are attending to over 3000 patients a month.

  • The support within the community and from the local MP for the work at the clinic.

  • Installation of 3 temporary solar arrays at the maternity facility enabling power for all the equipment and lighting.

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.
