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.

April 2026

Dear Friends,

“Pray without ceasing” 

This month please join us in prayer for those who have been affected by the recent bad flooding in Salima.

And pray for the team from the UK going out at the end of the month (22nd April – 14thMay) to visit all the projects and the Malawi team.

Your prayers are so important to us and the work we do.

 
 

Please pray for:

  • All those who have had their homes badly damaged or washed away.

  • Communities struggling to survive in the wake of the floods.

  • The Starfish team who have been affected by the floods, some having their homes flooded out.

  • Basic food commodities to be available for flood victims.

  • The response of the authorities to this emergency.

  • Funds to be raised to help those affected.

Team Trip

  • Preparation in the UK and Malawi for the trip.

  • Safe travel and good health.

  • Meaningful visits to the projects and productive meetings.

  • That all arrangements with key people will be successful.

  • That God will give wisdom and strength in every situation.

  • The Malawi team as they spend time with the UK team. May there be a rich sense of unity in the work.

  • The many communities that are facing hardship during the Hungry Season, due to lack of maize that is available at a reasonable price.

  • Starfish staff team in Malawi that they will be given wisdom and strength to endure through this period and to be diligent in all they do to ensure the continued work of all the projects.

Please praise for:

  • God’s continued abundant provision of funds to enable the work to continue.

  • The possibility that the maternity facility may be opening during the trip.

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.
