Aid and Relief Efforts: Serving Malawi in Obedience to God’s Word
The Jehovah Saints Church has extended its humanitarian efforts to Malawi, providing aid, relief, and support to communities in need. This work is rooted in the biblical command found in Galatians 6:10:
“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”
Through these efforts, the church seeks to fulfill its mission of preserving human dignity and caring for those in need, particularly the vulnerable and impoverished in Malawi.
Our Purpose: Preserving Human Dignity and Caring for Those in Need
Our purpose is simple yet profound: to bring urgent relief to families affected by poverty and hunger while preserving their dignity. We are committed to responding to crises and empowering beneficiaries through sustainable programs and resources.

Hunger and Poverty Relief: Feeding the Hungry and Empowering the Poor
Our primary mission is to address hunger and poverty by bringing relief to vulnerable families. Inspired by Matthew 25:35, where Jesus says, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,” we strive to be the hands and feet of Christ in the world.
Hunger Relief Programs
Our food distribution programs provide nutritious meals to those who lack access to food, regardless of their religion or background. These efforts involve:
Food Distribution Logistics:
Warehousing and transportation to remote areas.
Establishing distribution centers to ensure food reaches those in need.
Community Gardens and Agricultural Development:
Promoting local food production to create sustainable solutions for hunger.
Distribution of MannaPacks:
MannaPacks contain a blend of rice, soy protein, dehydrated vegetables, and essential nutrients to combat malnutrition.
Together, we are feeding hungry children, providing malnutrition treatment for families, and empowering communities to grow their own food.
Call to Action: Help Us Reach Our Goal
Malawi has recently faced natural disasters that have devastated several remote communities. We need your help to raise $50,000 to provide critical aid. Your contribution can help us provide 1-month food packs for families in need.
Pro-Life Campaign: Advocating for the Sanctity of Life
Our pro-life campaign is rooted in the belief that all life is sacred and begins at conception. We aim to raise awareness about the value of human life and provide alternatives to abortion by supporting pregnant women in challenging circumstances.
The Sanctity of Life: A Biblical Perspective
Life begins when the heart starts beating, signifying the presence of a soul. This understanding is supported by Scripture:
Jeremiah 1:5: “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.”
Psalm 139:13-16: “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
Job 31:15: “Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?”
We believe the soul is connected to the body through the "Sinus Node" of the heart, which sends electrical impulses throughout the body. Doctors declare a person clinically dead when all electrical activity ceases, signifying the departure of the soul. From this understanding, we conclude that life begins at the moment a baby’s heart starts beating.
Heartbreaking Reality
Archbishop Vincent Phiri has personally witnessed the disregard for life in abortion procedures, where babies are treated as medical waste. This calls for urgent action to protect the sanctity of life and advocate for alternatives to abortion.
Abortion Awareness Campaign: Addressing Unsafe Practices
On International Safe Abortion Day, Food for the Poor Malawi launched an online campaign to raise awareness about the risks of unsafe abortions. The campaign seeks to:
Raise Awareness: Educate the public about the dangers of unsafe abortion and its impact on maternal health.
Engage Stakeholders: Work with lawmakers, healthcare providers, and community organizations to address abortion laws and practices.
Promote Alternatives: Advocate for resources and support for women facing unplanned pregnancies, offering hope and life-affirming solutions.
This initiative is grounded in our belief in the sanctity of life and the biblical mandate to care for the most vulnerable among us.
Join Us in Making a Difference
The work of Jehovah Saints Church in Malawi is a testament to the power of faith in action. Whether through hunger relief, pro-life advocacy, or disaster response, we are committed to serving those in need and upholding the dignity of every human life.
Scripture to Reflect On:
Isaiah 58:10: “If you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.”
James 2:14-17: “What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
Call to Action: Be Part of the Solution
Together, we can make a difference. Let us heed the words of Matthew 5:16:
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Closing Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the opportunity to serve those in need. May our efforts bring glory to Your name and hope to the hopeless. Bless those who give, pray, and advocate for this mission. Guide us as we seek to be Your hands and feet in a world that desperately needs Your love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Conclusion: Join Us in Bringing Hope to the Homeless

This is more than just a project—it’s a movement of love, compassion, and transformation. With your support, we can expand this mission and provide a place of refuge for countless individuals and families who are struggling.
