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.
January 2025
A very Happy New Year to you all.
“Pray without ceasing”
At the start of this New Year, we invite you to pray for our work as it continues into another year and to praise God for what he has done over the last year.
Please pray for:
The team in Malawi as they begin another year on all the projects, that they will be refreshed by the Lord as they attend to the work and as they build relationships with many in the communities.
New opportunities for the gospel to be taught in more schools and for additional Bible Explorer teachers.
The maternity facility to be equipped and the power supply installed so that this much needed unit can open in the next few months.
The development of the Community Feeding programme so that hundreds of children can be given a good quality meal each day at school.
The continued work of Hope Clinic serving thousands of patients each month. We ask that God provides the medical staff with clear knowledge and wisdom with each case they are attending to.
The staff and children at GTOC that the Lord will enable those who teach and care for hundreds of children each day to have patience, compassion, wisdom and strength as they nurture these young children, enabling them to grow and to be educated.
The UK team as they continue to guide and direct the work and to enable the essential funds to be raised to allow the projects to develop. We especially ask for prayer that someone will be found to continue the work of trusts and grants, that was so well done by Mark Aldrich.
We praise God for:
The ability that He has given so many to continue to support the work in prayer and finance over 2024.
The work that has been achieved over the year – houses for midwives and teachers built. Nearly 40,000 patients attended to in the clinic. Thousands of children taught the word of God. Continued blessing of nursery education and for dedicated special needs teaching in Everland and much more.
The UK committee who have diligently discussed many topics and taken decisions over the year.
We also want to share with you of the sad news that Mark Aldrich has recently 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.
Starfish was born to create a world of difference, one by one!

those we seek to serve”
