The picture above was a demonstration of friendship from our African hosts to our boys. This kind of partnership and affection captures both how we want to walk with Malawians, AND how our supporters have walked with us.
We are so deeply grateful for all of you who have prayed with us, and who have gladly given from your own stores and resources to see our one-time costs covered. By God's grace, in a swell of support, we have reached 77% of our goal for one-time costs. Thank you for walking hand-in-hand with us, partnering to see this work grow into maturity.
That only leaves 24%, or about $14,000 left to be raised before we arrive in Malawi. At this rate, we are hopeful we can also get to our stretch goal and bring a good gift for the student housing as well. This is a double gift: not only are our needs and costs covered through the money given, but our stress and anxiety is much lower as we head into 2021.
