Only God
We're excited to report that God is bringing an increase to our organization and to the lives we are serving with you! We are all in this together, and as always, we are grateful for your incredible support.
"Neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow." -1 Cor 3:7
Breaking Ground for Our New Chapel
On Monday, October 10th we broke ground on the first addition to our new property — a chapel! There was much dancing and celebration as we thanked God for what He is starting with this project. This will give our staff and the girls a new space to regularly worship together on our base and meet a variety of other needs.
Once completed, this facility may serve as a place for us to host church services, counseling sessions, daycare for the girls' children, a library, vocational training, men's ministry trainings and special events.
This year has been such a great time of progress for us. We are days away from completing our 4th dorm, we are half-way to a new school staff duplex and our school is operating at full steam! We believe God's heart is being reflected through When the Saints and we are thankful that He is being faithful to bring glory to His name through us.
Supporting Our Local Police Force
Supporting the local community here in Malawi is a high priority for When the Saints. It helps to build bridges, maintain solid relationships and accomplish more ministry. In fact, it would be incredibly difficult to fulfill our vision without outside help — especially from our local police! Our partnership plays a crucial role in our goal to reduce sexual abuse in our region.
For this reason, when we heard that the city's electrical blackouts were causing issues at the Mponela Police Station, we felt moved to do something about it. On September 30th, we were privileged to be able to donate quality solar flood lights, allowing the police to continue their work at night without interruption and to help keep their station secure.
Assistant Commissioner John Zidana said he was elated by our gift, and is very thankful. He said, "We are grateful for our own partners who bless and invest in our township!"
Thank you for all that you do to encourage and participate in this life-giving ministry.
-Much love to you all!
