Support Future Projects!

Over the summer I had the opportunity to serve alongside a previous intern who is now working full time in Malawi for COTN. Christopher Adare has a unique passion for Malawi's children and shared some special project ideas with us. Some of these include a sunflower garden and oil press, a COTN youth retreat, job shadowing, and educational visits which will directly affect the futures of the kids I grew to know and love. Please continue reading to learn more about Chris' vision for the coming year as well as taking a look at his website found in the "Please Visit" section of my blog.

Dear COTN Supporters,

I have been a part of Children of the Nations’ ministry to the orphaned and destitute children in Malawi for nearly three years. In September, I returned to the States after spending 15 months working with children in the villages and orphans’ homes. During my time in Malawi, God taught me a lot about how He calls servants, and me specifically. I discovered the challenges that Malawians face, and I feel that I am responsible to them and to God to serve them in every way that I can. As a part of that calling, I will be returning to Malawi in January 2009 for an indefinite stay, to live and work side by side with Malawians as we seek to improve the communities and glorify God.

I will be organizing three primary projects for the next year, and recruiting college students from around Malawi to implement them. The first is a Youth Retreat that will take teenagers out of their everyday lives in the villages and orphans’ homes to relax, reflect, and hear from some of Malawi’s strongest Christian leaders. The second project is to arrange educational and vocational visits to broaden the perspectives and ambitions of COTN children to break the cycle of poverty. In the third project, I will work with agriculture students to design and market agro-technologies for the village farmer, such as a manual oil-press, beehive and centrifuge, and universal peanut sheller. The specific objectives of this project are to improve nutrition and reduce labor demands on children and women.

In order to do these activities and others, I will need to raise the money to finance them. I ask that you pray for me and for Malawi, and consider whether you can make a contribution. As I am planning these activities, I am humbled to know that I do nothing except through the grace and strength of Christ. I hope you will take a moment to reflect on your calling and how you might impact the lives of destitute children, though you may never meet them in this lifetime.

For the Children,
Christopher Adare
