Join our Team!

We have a vision. Our vision is to see the church of Malawi to break the vicious cycle of poverty and hunger, to see the church become an agent of change for the country of Malawi, to see God working powerfully through his church to tranform lives -- transformation from survival to sustainability, from devastation to hopefulness and a future -- a testimony of the power of the gospel.

Our family is committing two years toward this kind of tranformation for the people of Malawi. But we can't do it alone. We need your help -- your prayers and resources -- to make our vision a reality. We're asking you to stand with us and lift up a suffering nation and to extend God's justice to the poor.

We need to raise $3,712/month of support to enable us to carry out our mission. We would like for you to join our team and be a part of making a difference in the lives of people that are devastated by poverty, hunger, and HIV/AIDS. To let us know you are praying for us or would like to support us financially, please fill out our support form and mail it to us or Emmanuel International. You can also make a donation online by selecting "VanWoerden, Andre & Alexandra (Malawi)" from the drop-down list.

All gifts are tax receiptable. As a part of our team we will send you regular updates on our ministry in Malawi.Thank you for your support!

support update

We've been busy the last months raising the support we need to be able to go to Malawi to serve the poor. In March/April we spent 2 weeks up in snowy norhtern BC and AB (only to come back home and have to mow our overdue lawn), which included spending about 50 hours in our van! Our girls did very well, considering. We're thankful for the churches that gave us the opportunity to share our mission/vision and the people that are joined our team.

We just cruched some numbers today and we're at exactly 50% of our monthly support ($1,850 of $3,712) and 50% of our one-time start-up expenses!! Praise God! A big thank you to all our ministry partners. THANK YOU for sharing our vision and enabling us to carry out our God-given mission.

Please pray that we will be able to receive the remainder of our support and obtain our temporary employment permit so that we can leave for Malawi on schedule on August 19!
