While I am in Malawi I will be working with an organization call Children of the Nations (COTN). I will be helping COTN set up a Service Learning Center where children will be able to come and learn basic hands- on skills such as iron working and bicycle repair. All the tools and things that I sent to them last year are still there and secure in a container.
Just the other day we sent out about 120,000 meals to Malawi which will be distributed by a different organization called Meals for Malawi. I hope to be able to visit this organization while I am in Malawi. I will actually be in the same city as them so it should be pretty easy to visit them. Like COTN Meals for Malawi is a holistic ministry, meaning that they provide everything that the children need- not just food, but also shelter, parents, education and even Bible Instruction.
While I am gone over the summer the contact person for Feeding Children- Steiger Minneapolis will be Kelly Jean Erwin and you can reach her at the same phone number that you have been contacting me at which is (612) 867-7541.
The restaurant that I work at has been really flexible and supportive to me about my going away for the summer. I will be done working there at the end of May but then when I come back at the end of August I can go back to work there and have all the same shifts again that I have been working. What a blessing that is.
Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support. Without your help and support I would not be able to be in this ministry!
Heather Young
Satellite Director
Feeding Children-Steiger Minneapolis
Please remember to pray for me over the summer
- For my ability to speak Chichewa while I am in Malawi.
- For my safety in the countries that I will be in.
- Unity among the other missionaries that I will be serving with.
- Ability to get the supplies that we will need for blacksmithing and the other projects that we will be working on.
Your prayers and contributions make this ministry possible!
