Our Beautiful Children!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Friends and Family,<\/p>\n<p>Your investment is growing in Malawi! Our staff is growing in leadership, faith, experience and training.\u00a0 And they are investing in the lives of those in our community and in the lives of our children. I can&#8217;t think of a better way to invest in a country! Here are some pictures of the children.\u00a0 Please pray for us in the following areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Next Leadership &amp; Montessori Teacher Training-Dec. 13,14,15,\u00a0&amp; 16 -for plenty of participants &amp; great joy and learning!<\/li>\n<li>Christmas in Ndirande-Children&#8217;s Christmas Book (John 3:16) distribution to 9,000. Yes, that is 9,000 children in Ndirande. Led by our Children&#8217;s Ministry Leader, Simon Khambala, in partnership with Guthrie Bible College and their Children&#8217;s Ministry Workers. A project this size has never been done for the children in our town. We need your prayers!<\/li>\n<li>Third Income Generating Activity- Children&#8217;s Books Sales. This activity was put on hold until January 2011. Please pray for our provision. We are committed to be self-sufficient. All funds to sustain the ministry generated from inside Malawi.\u00a0 Only Jesus can make this happen in 9 months!<\/li>\n<li>Please pray for incoming Women on Mission from Lakeside Church &#8211; Kelsey Zeigler and Becca Dague arriving this January 2011 to work as part of ourministry&#8217;s outreach to the children in pediatric wards at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital.<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, we\u00a0dream big\u00a0enough to be looking at land\u00a0to purchase. Every week on Friday we pack up the school (all three classrooms) and store it in a 10 by 10 space and then set up the school every Monday morning. We are so grateful for our space that we rent, but the shifting does not provide continuity in our programs nor the ability to expand our programs to the weekends. We would love to invest in a place of our own instead of renting. Please pray for us as we discern about land of our own to build.\u00a0 I will put pics of the land we have identified in the next update.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Zikomo!\u00a0 Here are our kids!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_879\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-879\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-879\" title=\"SAM_0427\" src=\"http:\/\/malawimontessoriproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/SAM_0427-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Botany - Study of Flowers Unit\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malawimontessoriproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/SAM_0427-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/malawimontessoriproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/SAM_0427-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-879\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Botany - Study of Flowers Unit<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">\n<div id=\"attachment_882\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-882\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-882\" title=\"SAM_0437\" src=\"http:\/\/malawimontessoriproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/SAM_0437-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Botany, botany\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malawimontessoriproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/SAM_0437-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/malawimontessoriproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/SAM_0437-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-882\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Botany, botany<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">\n<div id=\"attachment_883\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-883\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-883\" title=\"SAM_0436\" src=\"http:\/\/malawimontessoriproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/SAM_0436-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"We love our library!\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/malawimontessoriproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/SAM_0436-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/malawimontessoriproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/SAM_0436-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-883\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We love our library!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\">\n<div id=\"attachment_885\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-885\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-885\" title=\"HPIM2625\" src=\"http:\/\/malawimontessoriproject.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/HPIM2625-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Our Kids performing dance for their parents and guardians at monthly parent meeting.
