Study Bibles for Pastors
More than 2 million pastors in Africa have never received even one hour of Bible training, according to The Center for World Missions. And many do not own a Bible. African Leadership has been in Africa since 1992, with the philosophy that Africans should train Africans, right where they live. We want to provide study Bibles as the basis for their educational training. African Leadership has grown to be the largest in-class training course in Africa, with almost 10,000 students currently enrolled. We are hoping to provide several thousand Bibles with the help from a matching grant offered to African Leadership.
Orphan Care in Lizulu, Malawi
The Lizulu Orphan Care project is an expansion of a community effort which has been helping care for orphans for about ten years. The project is in a rural community where the average household lives on less than 75 cents per day. About 3,000 orphans, who have lost one or both parents, live in the community. The few surviving parents are often sick, and if healthy, are overwhelmed by the needs of those around them.
The project provides food, clothing, blankets, medical and spiritual care and education for 500 orphans. The orphans will continue to live in homes in the community, enabling both the children and the surviving adults to retain dignity as well as a sense of belong to a family.
