Nowhere to stay. Many widows in southern Malawi remain in temporary housing since Tropical Cyclone Freddy washed away houses and villages in March. Climbing For Christ continues a rebuilding project. Help is needed.

Mission: Malawi 2023 is scheduled Aug. 16-24. Check back for daily Dispatches.

Tropical Cyclone Freddy devastated an already reeling – constantly hurting – southern Malawi, where Kingdom worker Damson Samson and ministry partner Pastor Duncan Nyozani live. This is one of the poorest parts of one of the world’s poorest nations. Hunger is an almost constant companion. Now thousands are homeless, and hundreds are dead and missing after days of rain and floods.

A violent mob attacks ministry partner Pastor Duncan Nyozani's home in southern Malawi, looting and destroying everything on his property. Were they looking for someone or something?

“Those who were homeless, now they have a house to call home,” Kingdom worker Damson Samson said when asked about Climbing For Christ’s impact on his home country. “Those walking naked were dressed up.”

We will tell about “the amazing things He does” (1 Chronicles 16:24). His “glorious deeds” have included providing food and housing to widows in Malawi, setting free children who are slaves in brick factories in Pakistan, loving on orphans in Nepal, and more.
