So we thought we would provide you with a synopsis of each one. Every time you drop a check in the offering plate, a portion of your money goes to help these institutions and people to do the Lord's work of spreading the gospel and strengthening Christ's church. These two colleges, one in Liberia and one in Malawi, are four-year Bible colleges, offering Bachelor of Arts degrees in Biblical studies. They typically draw students from 11 countries across the African continent. The colleges also have a number of outreach programs in their local communities.
Graduates fill leadership positions in various denominations and Christian ministries across Africa.
This missions opportunity was brought to our attention by Dr. and Mrs. Tim Monsma, missionaries associated with Westminster Theological Seminary in California. There are more than 1 million orphans in Malawi, a country in Central Africa. The African Orphan Fund is involved in a number of orphanages and related projects there to provide care and to give Christian education and training to orphans and widows. This includes the Lizulu Orphan Project, the Mchinji Christian Orphanage, the Nkhoma Christian Hospital Project, and related activities. The Nkhoma Christian Hospital Project provides free medical care to 680 orphans living in the villages near the hospital.
