Project 1:27 Malawi

Climbing For Christ was introduced to the plight of what was then called Searchlight Orphan Care in Malawi, Africa on Oct. 25, 2009, when a thief broke into the orphanage and robbed all of the children’s food.

Seven bags of maize, two bags of beans, five liters of cooking oil, and 20 packets of sugar. A month’s worth of food for 15 orphans cared for by Pastor Duncan Nyozani’s ministry.

God provided through Climbing For Christ, as we were able to wire our Malawi member US$500 to replenish that which had been stolen. But through this unfortunate event, our heavenly Father opened a door. He introduced us to a need in this central African nation.

Project 1:27 — based on James 1:27 (“look after orphans ... in their distress”) — was born.

 

Since then, God has used Climbing For Christ and C4C Kingdom worker Damson Samson to impact the villages served by Pastor Duncan’s churches — starting with this small group of Project 1:27 Malawi orphans and expanding to programs for hundreds of widows, prisoners, and disciple-making training for mountain guides and porters.

In 2017, Climbing For Christ connected Pastor Duncan’s ministries with Hope Lutheran Church in Rochester, NY. Share Hope Foundation was created — a partnership that is blessing lives on both sides of the planet, and which now includes overseeing Project 1:27 support and orphan sponsor recruitment.

The 11 children below were sponsored as of November 2024. In a country where more than half of the population is under the age of 15 and AIDS has claimed the lives of many parents, there are more children waiting for a place to call home.
