Ten women were given the opportunity and these students made it through with sponsorship from the NC Conference. THANK YOU!<\/p>\n<p>In Malawi, women are hard workers; they learn to work hard from childhood and 60% of women in Malawi cannot read or write. There is very little opportunity for young girls to go to school and very few who complete high school. To strengthen families and the church, we need to strengthen the women in Malawi by supporting female students to attend Bible School. This coming term, ten women are lined up to attend. Write me an email message if your heart is open to adopt a student this year. Let us raise a mighty army of women ready to reach the unreached women and teach them the word of God. This is the best strategy to reach the unreached and teach them!<\/p>\n<p>URGENT REMINDER: Malawi is currently rated as the poorest country in the world and the lowest in education development.<\/p>\n<p>How can we make a difference and bring a change in the nation now? Let\u2019s look at three opportunities\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Support the development of students at Guthrie Bible Training Centre in Blantyre, Malawi<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nCertificate Course: We are targeting the education program for women! If an investment is made in a women\u2019s education, she will educate a whole family and impact a community and a nation! Work with us on this as we are targeting ten women to be at bible school every term to take the Certificate Course in Biblical Studies. This will ground them and their families in God\u2019s Word. It will give the women opportunities for leadership in the local church and develop them as teachers.<\/p>\n<p>Diploma Course: We are planning to offer a Diploma Course hopefully this year in August in collaboration with the East Africa Bible College Diploma Program. Thank God with us for Kevin Sneed and his team of teachers who are willing to travel to Malawi and help kick off this course. Since the year 2000, students graduated from Guthrie Bible Training Centre with a Certificate in Biblical Studies. These students are waiting eagerly to be a part of the Diploma Program. Pray as this program develops and planning falls in place with all the resources needed to function effectively.<br \/>\nFor the past 17 years Guthrie Bible Training Centre stayed open with the support of a handful of faithful people and churches who I thank God for. This support base needs to increase for GBTC to present these courses and host other training sessions for Pastors, Women\u2019s Ministry, Youth Ministry and Children\u2019s Ministry to raise the leaders the church needs to function effectively and impact the community and nation. Let me know if you want to partner as a monthly supporter of GBTC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Give your skills and time; invest in helping develop Evangelism Centre<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The church at Guthrie Bible Training Centre, Chirimba PHC, is functional and uses the school chapel for worship. This church is reaching into the community and is also active in working with the students in all the training sessions to reach out into the unreached areas through hospital ministry, market outreaches, kids&#8217; clubs and crusades. This church planted a church\u00a0 called Chikonde PHC (Chikonde means &#8220;Love&#8221;) in a village area with many kids needing help with clothing, education and physical care. As part of the church building in the village an EVANGELISM CENTRE can be built \u2013 two classrooms, a storeroom and an office to embrace the kids, youth, women and men during the week and in Sunday School classes to focus on development activities to meet their needs. Should you want to bring a ministry team to Malawi to help with this village, let me know! It would be a great opportunity to serve the least while working alongside the Southern Conference, Evangelism Team. Haley Jones came to Malawi and invested her resources and time to teach a group of kids in this village and help them understand the Gospel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Invest in building resources in Malawi<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To develop resources in Malawi through our leaders and members, we have just started to focus on developing micro-businesses among the people who are already demonstrating success in business. Individuals produce a report of profit in one year, then we are helping them with an investment in order to double their profits and use their investment to invest in another person&#8217;s successful business to double their profit and to see that the\u00a0 profits can sustain their family, church and some programs in the church or community. The People to People Ministries Director, Matt Bennett, is helping Malawi with this. Should you want to \u201cinvest\u201d in Malawi, call Matt at the People to People office.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHEN WE GIVE, WE GROW<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Seed being sowed in God\u2019s Kingdom should reap lost souls and bring fruit. The church sends missionaries to reach these souls, and it is crucial that we all are involved. Thank you for supporting and giving to programs and projects and helping save, disciple and empower His people!<\/p>\n<p>As we serve as Jesus did, being His vessel today, His Glory will shine! So plan with me to arise and shine in the darkness for His Kingdom to be established among His people!<\/p>\n<p>Declare with me His Glory to fill Malawi as we partner together! So grateful to be serving and for you sending me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Althea Meyer Support her ministry here!

Diez mujeres fueron dadas la oportunidad y estos estudiantes lo hicieron con el patrocinio de la conferencia de NC. \u00a1GRACIAS! En Malawi, las mujeres son trabajadoras; Aprenden a trabajar duro desde la infancia y el 60% de las mujeres en Malawi no saben leer ni escribir. Hay muy pocas oportunidades para que las chicas j\u00f3venes vayan a la escuela y muy pocas que terminen la escuela secundaria. Para fortalecer a las familias ya la iglesia, necesitamos fortalecer a las mujeres en Malawi apoyando a las estudiantes para asistir a la Escuela B\u00edblica. Este pr\u00f3ximo per\u00edodo, diez mujeres est\u00e1n alineadas para asistir. Escr\u00edbame un mensaje de correo electr\u00f3nico si tu coraz\u00f3n est\u00e1 abierto para adoptar a un estudiante este a\u00f1o. Elevemos un poderoso ej\u00e9rcito de mujeres listas para alcanzar a las mujeres no alcanzadas y ense\u00f1arles la palabra de Dios. \u00a1Esta es la mejor estrategia para alcanzar a los no alcanzados y ense\u00f1arlos! RECORDATORIO URGENTE: Malawi est\u00e1 actualmente calificado como el pa\u00eds m\u00e1s pobre del mundo y el m\u00e1s bajo en el desarrollo de la educaci\u00f3n. \u00bfC\u00f3mo podemos hacer una diferencia y traer un cambio en la naci\u00f3n ahora? Veamos tres oportunidades ... <strong>1. Apoyar el desarrollo de los estudiantes en el Centro de Capacitaci\u00f3n B\u00edblica Guthrie en Blantyre, Malawi<\/strong> Certificado Curso: Estamos apuntando el programa de educaci\u00f3n para las mujeres! Si una inversi\u00f3n se hace en una educaci\u00f3n de las mujeres, ella educar\u00e1 a toda una familia e impactar\u00e1 a una comunidad y una naci\u00f3n! Trabaja con nosotros en esto ya que estamos apuntando a diez mujeres para que est\u00e9n en la escuela b\u00edblica cada t\u00e9rmino para tomar el Curso de Certificado en Estudios B\u00edblicos. Esto los pondr\u00e1 a tierra ya sus familias en la Palabra de Dios. Dar\u00e1 a las mujeres oportunidades para el liderazgo en la iglesia local y las desarrollar\u00e1 como maestros. Curso de Diploma: Estamos planeando ofrecer un curso de Diploma con suerte este a\u00f1o en agosto en colaboraci\u00f3n con el East Africa Bible College Diploma Program. Gracias a Dios por Kevin Sneed y su equipo de profesores que est\u00e1n dispuestos a viajar a Malawi y ayudar a iniciar este curso. Desde el a\u00f1o 2000, los estudiantes se graduaron en Guthrie Bible Training Center con un Certificado en Estudios B\u00edblicos. Estos estudiantes est\u00e1n esperando ansiosamente ser parte del Programa del Diploma. Ore mientras este programa se desarrolla y la planificaci\u00f3n se pone en marcha con todos los recursos necesarios para funcionar eficazmente. Durante los \u00faltimos 17 a\u00f1os el Centro de Capacitaci\u00f3n B\u00edblica de Guthrie se mantuvo abierto con el apoyo de un pu\u00f1ado de personas e iglesias fieles a quienes agradezco a Dios. Esta base de apoyo necesita aumentar para GBTC para presentar estos cursos y recibir otras sesiones de capacitaci\u00f3n para Pastores, Ministerio de la Mujer, Ministerio de la Juventud y Ministerio de Ni\u00f1os para levantar los l\u00edderes que la iglesia necesita para funcionar efectivamente e impactar a la comunidad y la naci\u00f3n. D\u00e9jeme saber si usted desea al socio como un partidario mensual de GBTC. <strong>2. Dar sus habilidades y tiempo; Invertir en ayudar a desarrollar el Centro de Evangelismo<\/strong> La iglesia en el Centro de Capacitaci\u00f3n B\u00edblica de Guthrie, PHC Chirimba, es funcional y utiliza la capilla de la escuela para la adoraci\u00f3n. Esta iglesia est\u00e1 llegando a la comunidad y tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1 activa en el trabajo con los estudiantes en todas las sesiones de entrenamiento para llegar a las \u00e1reas no alcanzadas a trav\u00e9s del ministerio del hospital, campa\u00f1as de promoci\u00f3n del mercado, clubes infantiles y cruzadas. Esta iglesia plant\u00f3 una iglesia llamada Chikonde PHC (Chikonde significa \"Amor\") en un \u00e1rea de la aldea con muchos ni\u00f1os que necesitan ayuda con la ropa, la educaci\u00f3n y el cuidado f\u00edsico. Como parte del edificio de la iglesia en el pueblo se puede construir un CENTRO DE EVANGELISMO - dos aulas, un almac\u00e9n y una oficina para abrazar a los ni\u00f1os, j\u00f3venes, mujeres y hombres durante la semana y en las clases de la Escuela Dominical para centrarse en actividades de desarrollo para satisfacer sus necesidades. necesariamente. Si quieres traer un equipo de ministerio a Malawi para ayudar con este pueblo, h\u00e1zmelo saber! Ser\u00eda una gran oportunidad para servir al menos mientras trabajaba junto a la Conferencia del Sur, el Equipo de Evangelismo. Haley Jones vino a Malawi e invirti\u00f3 sus recursos y tiempo para ense\u00f1ar a un grupo de ni\u00f1os en este pueblo y ayudarles a entender el Evangelio. <strong>3. Invertir en la construcci\u00f3n de recursos en Malawi<\/strong> Para desarrollar recursos en Malawi a trav\u00e9s de nuestros l\u00edderes y miembros, acabamos de empezar a concentrarnos en el desarrollo de microempresas entre las personas que ya est\u00e1n demostrando \u00e9xito en los negocios. Las personas producen un informe de beneficio en un a\u00f1o, entonces estamos ayud\u00e1ndoles con una inversi\u00f3n con el fin de duplicar sus ganancias y utilizar su inversi\u00f3n para invertir en el negocio exitoso de otra persona para duplicar sus ganancias y ver que los beneficios pueden sostener a su familia, Iglesia y algunos programas en la iglesia o comunidad. El Director de Ministerios People to People, Matt Bennett, est\u00e1 ayudando a Malawi con esto. Si desea \"invertir\" en Malawi, llame a Matt en la oficina People to People. <strong>CUANDO DAMOS, CRECEMOS La<\/strong> semilla que se siembra en el Reino de Dios debe cosechar las almas perdidas y traer fruto. La iglesia env\u00eda misioneros para llegar a estas almas, y es crucial que todos participemos. \u00a1Gracias por apoyar y dar a programas y proyectos y ayudar a salvar, discipular y empoderar a Su pueblo! Mientras servimos como lo hizo Jes\u00fas, siendo Su vaso hoy, \u00a1Su Gloria brillar\u00e1! \u00a1As\u00ed que planif\u00edcate conmigo para que surja y brille en la oscuridad para que Su Reino sea establecido entre Su pueblo! Declara conmigo Su Gloria para llenar a Malawi mientras nos asociamos! \u00a1Tan agradecido de servir y de enviarme!","author_name":"","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2017\/07\/Meyer-Photo.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Ar-pd","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1563\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
