A big thank you to Alliance for Children Everywhere for the generous food donation to the girls at When the Saints ❤️

Your kindness and support mean so much to us 🙏🏽✨

This photo was taken from the stage at this year's banquet as we prayed over the Ruckel family. We are incredibly excited for the Ruckels to join WtS as missionaries to Malawi in May 2027.

They will play a key role in launching our second long-term trauma counseling safe home, and we can't wait to see all that God will do through this partnership.

We have stepped out in faith a started construction on the boarding hostel before all the funds have come in. If you weren’t able to attend the banquet but would still like to help us meet our goal, you can do so here.

Essy and I will be in the U.S. until June 24th, and we would love to connect with you. If you have questions about the ministry, would like to introduce us to a friend, or want to have us share with your church or small group, we would be grateful for the opportunity. Our hope is to continue building momentum toward this goal so we can complete the hostel before the end of the school term in July.

Why Malawi? 🇲🇼
Joy in the midst of poverty.
This is the story of how When the Saints began.

We’re excited to share that When the Saints has been accepted onto a new fundraising platform called GlobalGiving.

After nearly a decade of using DonorSee, we were saddened to see it close, but grateful for the opportunity it gave us to grow and connect with many of you. In exploring new options, GlobalGiving stood out as a strong and trusted platform that will allow us to continue sharing the needs and stories from the field.

We have just launched our first project! It would be an honor to have your continued partnership. This project is for $12,000 and will allow us to provide bed sheets, clothes, shoes, a backpack and sanitary products to all 98 girls that join our program over the next year. Would you help us get a strong jump start? You can give now by clicking here.

In Malawi, many young girls who experience abuse are left without support, protection, or hope. Through our safe home, we provide a full year of counseling and care, helping each girl heal from trauma and rebuild her life with dignity and purpose.

We are looking forward to our annual fundraising banquet coming up on April 25th, and wanted to send a quick reminder as we approach an important deadline.

Our early bird discount ends at midnight on Friday March 27th. This includes:
• 10% off an individual seat
• 15% off when you reserve a full table of 8

We’ve already seen an incredible response, with 161 out of 320 seats reserved—just over half the room is filled, with 159 seats remaining.

If you’ve been considering attending, now is the time to secure your spot at the discounted rate. We would be especially honored if you would consider hosting a table of 8—inviting friends, family, or colleagues to join you and advocating on behalf of the men and young ladies we serve. Your voice and influence help extend this mission far beyond what we could do alone.

Happy ! Our incredible lady staff rocked Jingo at our recent retreat. It’s a classic Malawian game full of jumps, rhythm & joy! 💃🇲🇼

When we support girl’s and women, we all rise higher.

One of the girls shared what she really loves at the Safe Home.

Praying with her friends, the counseling sessions and how the caregivers care for them.

Here at the WtS, she feels loved and safe.
Thank you for being part of this ministry.
