Malawi - Searchlight Orphan Care Appeal

During this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. One of them, named Agabus, stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world.

Dear Friends,

We believe that there is a Scriptural precedent and injunction for making known the needs of those who are part of the same Body of Christ, but who are unable to make their needs known themselves.

Proverbs 31:8-9 exhorts us: "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."

The famine and poverty situations in Malawi and the entire South-Central region of Africa are increasingly worse. Within a couple of years, the difficulties have been compounded by the floods that often accompany the rainy season. What was a needy situation has now becoming desperate.

You cannot affect all of Africa, but you can reach out to one village where there is a church that is trying to live as a testimony to the redeeming power of Jesus Christ. Food is available in the cities, but these people live in the rural areas where many do not even possess currency; most trading is still done by barter methods. Many orphans are sick and starving, wearing ragged clothes, etc
