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.

A very Happy New Year to you all.

Dear Friends,

“Pray without ceasing” 

This month we invite you to pray for and praise God for the work of our Community Feeding Programme. 

This has been established to provide food to the children attending three schools, Katitima, Chikiluti and Chitiwri, during the “hungry months” from January to April each year. 

Each year the communities face hardship as the maize does not stretch to cover these months and many go without food.

 
 

Please pray for:

  • Good leadership in-country, especially with local communities involvement.

  • Growing understanding of the way to use the land sustainably.

  • Active participation of school children to know the best farming methods.

  • Sufficient rain across the growing season.

The Tiyeni training sessions to be well attended and that the facts will learnt.

Please praise for:

  • The support and funds that we are receiving from Rye Bakery which is enabling us to feed more children.

  • The partnership with Tiyeni through which the communities are trained in sustainable farming in the school fields.

  • The building of relationships with schools and communities.

Starfish was born to create a world of difference, one by one!

those we seek to serve”

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.
