BIO
In 2014, after retirement, facing death from cancer, I met a Bishop from Malawi, Africa who prayed for me. Since then, with no signs of cancer, I began to travel regularly to Malawi. Curious at first, I became aware that my presence, my assistance, and my messages, were all needed and made a difference.
A single church visit turned into helping with an orphanage of 60+ children, twelve different pastors at churches throughout the nation, and most recently helping to start a private school for high-school-aged children.
The work in Africa has expanded to where I am helping a start-up congregation in Kenya. Good friends in Rochester NY, where I live, have told me to ditch my pride – that I can’t do it all, fund it all, and help the people in Africa by myself. They have suggested others can’t travel but would want to help by donating to assist in the costs of the work being done. I am pleased Modern Day Missions here in the USA has agreed to handle all the financial aspects of my work in Africa as a registered not-for-profit 501-C3 organization that provides tax receipts to USA donors.
Will you join with me to help these people? I welcome you to travel with me but if you can’t will you donate to help? I am not looking for big donors. We can make a difference if enough people will simply make a small donation, recurring every month. Before we know it we will have enough to help and then we can tackle greater needs. When you click on the donation button you will be able to select recurring donation. Thank you for your compassion.
Malawi
This country in the southeast part of Africa is a long narrow country with no know natural resources. One of the poorest nations in the world, it exists in trading tobacco, coffee and tropical freshwater fish. More than 20 languages are spoken here. English is taught in the government schools for families able to pay the fees. Poverty is everywhere. Children are found orphaned through parental abandonment, or death from HIV and Aids. Average lifespans are short. Proud people with very real needs.
