One Village Transformed

Pastor Victor K. Phiri of Jehovah Saints in Mulanje, Malawi, reports:

At Jehovah's Saints Malawi, our approach to village transformation is holistic, addressing not only the physical needs in a community but also the spiritual ones. We start by listening to community members. Each village identifies its greatest needs and drives the process of change. We partner with them, providing support, expertise, and practical tools—all in the power and love of Jesus.

The process is not always easy, and it’s sometimes messy. But through tried and proven methods that bring lasting change, entire villages are being transformed.

How We Support

When a community partners with us, we:

1. Listen to Leaders and Community Members

   • Understand their goals and identify their needs.

2. Provide Leadership Training

   • Equip local leaders to guide their communities toward sustainable transformation.

3. Address Practical Needs

   • Support efforts for clean water, adequate nutrition, and medical care.

   • Help implement sanitation and hygiene practices that promote good health.

4. Empower Families Financially

   • Establish Savings & Loan groups to create financial independence.

5. Focus on Children’s Protection and Education

   • Ensure children have access to education and a safe environment.

As sustainable change takes root, real transformation takes place, and the community thrives.

Scriptures to Reflect On

1. Isaiah 61:4"They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations."

   • This verse reflects the work of rebuilding and renewing villages, bringing new hope to devastated communities.

2. Matthew 5:16"In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

   • Our work in transforming villages is a testimony of God’s love and glory.

3. Philippians 2:4"Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."

   • This scripture encourages us to care for the needs of others, just as Jehovah Saints does in its holistic approach.

4. James 1:27"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world."

   • Caring for the vulnerable and addressing their needs is at the heart of this mission.

5. Proverbs 11:25"Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered."

   • Supporting others brings blessings, both to the giver and the receiver.

   
   

Through the power and love of Jesus, we can make a lasting impact on entire communities, bringing both physical and spiritual transformation. Let us continue to pray for and support this mission.
