There are stories that continue to break our hearts, and honestly, we pray they always do.
We never want to become comfortable with suffering or learn to look away. Heartbreak should move us to action, and that’s what continues to drive our mission in Malawi.
Lately, the Lord has placed the HIV community heavily on our hearts. The more we hear their stories, the more our hearts break.
In Malawi, many people living with HIV are rejected by their families and communities. They’re often treated as outcasts, leaving them feeling unseen, unwanted, and without hope. Tragically, some become so overwhelmed by the rejection that they take their own lives.
But that’s not how Jesus sees them.
Jesus consistently moved toward the people everyone else pushed away. He touched those with leprosy, spoke with the woman at the well, and welcomed the forgotten with compassion, dignity, and love. We want to follow His example.
Right now, we have a small space on our medical compound dedicated to serving this community. While we hope to one day build a larger facility designed specifically for their care, we’re choosing to serve with what God has already provided. We’ve been working with our medical team to remodel this space so it can better meet their needs.
Today, we received a quote for the renovations and medical supplies needed, and we’re believing God to provide $1,000 to help make these improvements possible.
Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us? Every gift helps create a place where people who have been rejected can experience compassionate care, restored dignity, and the love of Jesus.
Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. 1 John 3:18
