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,

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” 
 

This month we are praying for our Secondary School Sponsorship Programme. As we get closer to the start of a new academic year, we are mindful that we have many students selected for secondary school, which is great news, but we therefore need many new sponsors.

 
 

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 Fiona in UK and Hancy in Malawi who deal with all the sponsorship programme, the students and sponsors. Pray that God will bless them with wisdom, joy and strength as they guide and support the students and sponsors.

  • 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:

  • Praise God for the number of students selected for the new academic year.

  • Give thanks for the opportunity these students have to continue their education and develop their potential.

  • Thank God for His faithfulness in opening doors for young people through the Secondary School Sponsorship Programme.

  • Praise God for the generosity and commitment of sponsors, staff, volunteers, and partners who make the programme possible.

  • Give thanks for the ongoing impact of Starfish Malawi in transforming lives through education and support.

  • If you would be able to sponsor a student through their four years of secondary education, please email - admin@starfishmalawi.com

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.
