Need to Stay in School in January

This year's Hope Scholarship recipients--orphaned and vulnerable youth who show promise of completing their education in secondary school (high school) in Malawi.

These Hope Scholars received the highest marks in school this year. They are a good investment in the future of Malawi and the world.

And here's an urgent appeal for help from their Pastor in Mzuzu which I pass on to you who may be able to help them prepare for a better tomorrow. Pastor Copeland and I are committed to raise enough funds to keep 26 orphaned and vulnerable youth stay in school next semester in Malawi. Can you help us meet this need by contributing what you can? Please let me know if you can help sponsor a kid for secondary school with a $250 Hope Scholarship in 2011?

Rev Michael,

I need your help and guidance on how many Hope Scholarships we can plan for next year. You are the key player in this dream and WHC is the major donor. My prayer is that there will be enough for all 26 recipients of Hope Scholarships in 2011. We must continue to work together to empower the orphaned and vulnerable children and also EMPOWER the women in the Hope Tailoring School in Mzuzu for the glory of God.

The new semester commences in January. There is very little money left in the account. Education is the right approach to empowerment. We have 26 eager youth motivated to stay in school if their January fees can be paid by sponsors. Otherwise, they will lose out.

Advise soonest.

My best wishes for Christmas. You are special to Mzuzu for you are God’s hand of love and miracles.

Copeland

These high achieving Hope Scholars hope to go on to University to become accountants, teachers, and doctors.

Liberation Spirituality: Henri Nouwen and Gustavo Gutierrez in Dialogue

Liberation Spirituality: Henri Nouwen and Gustavo Gutierrez in Dialogue Lecture Notes: Presented by Michael J. Christensen, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Practice of Spirituality and Ministry, Drew University; and International Director, Communities of Shalom, The United Methodist Church Introduction “There is a little man in Peru, a man without any power, who lives in a barrio with poor people and who wrote a book. In this book he simply reclaimed the basic Christian truth that God became human to bring good news to the poor, new light to the blind, and liberty to the captives. Then years later this book and movement it started is considered a danger by [the USA, or Rome], the greatest power on earth. When I look at this little man, Gustavo, and think about [the President of the US, or the Pope], I see David standing before Goliath, again with no more weapon than a little stone, a stone called A The...

Let the River Flow: Why WorldHope Corps digs village wells

Sunday Sermon at the The Water's Edge in OB , San Diego, CA. "Woman at the Well" (John 4:7-15) When you think about the gospel story of the Samaritan woman with Jesus at Jacob’s well, I’d like you to picture this Woman at a similar well in northern Malawi. Sitting and talking with Pastor Dennis Singini about water. Her name is Nyang'oma, which means "drum." Her Christian name is Mary Botha. She is 85 years old and lives in a village in the Kampenda area of Northern Malawi. She has cared for 11 children, two of whom have died. And her husband has died. When Dennis and I first met Mary in 2008, her village did not have a deep well or access to clean water. Nor did the six surrounding villages with over 1,500 people. Women and children had to drink with animals from shallow seasonal wells or walk about of 5km away to drink from the closest stream. Sometimes they would get sick and complain of stomach aches. Cholera and dysentery were widespread, and m...
