Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant, cleansing as His Bride, getting ready for His soon return as our Bridegroom-----
Matthew 6:31-34 NKJV
“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
This scripture in Matthew 6 is such an encouraging message for every child of God, helping everyone that reads it to keep their faith strong in God as our Heavenly Father, knowing that He sees our needs, and that it is His desire to help us, and care for us.
But there are many people that do not know this scripture, and don't even have a bible to read it.
And we as believers and Children of God have to work with our Heavenly Father to make it possible for them to be able to hold onto this very scripture in their times of need!
And God is waiting on all of us - His Children - to say - "Here I am - use me.."
For our Lord wants to make this very promise to become a reality for as many people as possible on this earth - and to let people know that He truly loves them. But He doesn't work, nor move, without our willingness to work and move with Him. So when we choose to make our lives and resources available for His Glory, He not only uses it to bless others, but (and here is the secret not many fully understand yet) He also blesses those who are fully submitted to Him with even more, in order to help others even more...!!
But when we choose to hold back, not wanting to help someone, then all we have is "what we have", and we in fact "block" our blessings - not being able to receive anything else from God.!!
But when we open up our hearts and lives to be a real blessing unto others, God also opens the Flood Gates of Heaven to pour out a blessing for us in abundance - that we won't have space enough to hold it all...(Mal 3:10-11 is a classic Scripture explaining it all)
Like the Apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians 9:6-15 as well as Galatians 6:7-10: "That God loves a cheerful giver" and that "He will give seed to the Sower" - but what I love most, is the promise that says in 2 Cor 9:8 "And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work"
The Word is filled with all kinds of promises - but to think that God can cause us to "abound" in such a way, that we will be able to support "every good work"...meaning: we will get to a point if we continue to give and help, that one day we won't have to "choose" which people we help, or who we can't assist as we just do not have enough - but instead - we can actually get to a point of having "more than enough" to help everyone, and meet every need..!
And with this promise as our motivation - we at NDR take every need seriously and are aiming at helping as many as we can, in order to encourage the "Message of Repentance" to be preached - through showing goodwill to others...
But we can not do it without you - our Donors. We need your help to help us help others.
But know that in doing so, you will also receive the blessings which are part of the promise. For our Lord is not blind to see who is sowing / giving towards meeting the needs of others, and who doesn't..., and He will also cause the above promises to come into effect for everyone who chooses to help us, in order for us to help those in need...
And thus below is yet another opportunity for all of us to assist some people in some serious need in Malawi over this Christmas season. Together we have a chance for the Message of Repentance to be shared and for many souls to be saved and bodies to be fed...!
Here follows the messages received from Bishop Joseph - who through the Joseph Project together with the OUT Youths are planning to reach out to the vulnerable, weak, sick, orphans and elderly who are hungry in this Christmas time, and have no food to eat, and are struggling to provide for themselves - in order to meet their physical needs and to also share the message of Repentance with the Goodness of the Gospel with them. As many who are very hungry often go over to the Islamic faith if they don't receive help in time... And we want to prevent this if at all possible, and instead show them that our Lord Jesus cares about them more, and ensure their salvation before they make the wrong choice...
Brother Jeff
The words that came some years ago l heard it again in my dream during the day. Feed the hungry !! Heal the sick!!! Comfort the hurting!!! When you take care of God’s business, He takes care of your business
As we are busy planning for great gathering, praying and planning for 2026 in SALIMA, some precious souls are perishing because of hunger in some villages
That reminds me empty plates children in lines waiting for food
Who is going to put food in those empty plates?
Joseph Kazembe
Thank you, brother Jeff and the team. It's touching to see that when the President declared Malawi a hunger disaster state, few people responded to help. Sadly, some groups take advantage of these situations to spread their influence.
It's concerning that while Christians often respond with prayers alone, others, like some Muslims, use these opportunities to spread their faith, even in predominantly Christian areas.
We need action, and we need it now. Thank you, brother Jeff, that NDR family has consistently responded positively, despite many projects on your table. My prayer is that we come together in large scale to serve those dying from hunger. Let's save our breakfast and send something to help."
We are praying for more people to donate so that we can even reach more, we plan help reach 500 households
In the past we manage to target 100 households
Joseph Kazembe
Some of the OUT graduates is speaking out, and their words are heartbreaking. We've received testimonies from Alliness Mbendela in Lilongwe East and a young man Shadreck from Mtchinji, Lilongwe West, both OUT graduates, sharing their experiences of hunger in their communities. They urge us not to ignore the suffering of others to fill empty plates
You can watch Alliness Mbendela's video here.
She's saying people are struggling to find food, they are going to miners to search for food and children are dropping out of school... the situation is dire.
Joseph Kazembe
And then: The OUT Youths are planning to arrange a special gathering for all the OUT youths to get together in Salima close to the year-end - to encourage and motivate each other to start the new year on a good note...
Here follows Bishop Joseph's message he sent us, on what they are planning, as well as their budget:
As previously discussed, the youth are organizing a gathering to mark the end of the year and reignite their passion for 2026. Following meetings yesterday and today, plans are underway for a significant event at the SALIMA lake shore.
Leaders from OUT and Joseph Project initiatives will convene for prayers, thanksgiving, and reflection on the impact and testimonies of OUT's work. Our goal is to make 2026 an exceptional year, expanding our reach to neighboring countries with the message of repentance.
We're calling on everyone to join us in making this event a success. To achieve this, we need:
- A large poster
- Uniform T-shirts with our mission statement
- Support with food, transportation, and accommodations for attendees
The total budget for this event is $2,300, and we need to start receiving contributions this week to secure the venue in SALIMA.
The proposed dates for the event are December 27-28, 2025. We're sharing the budget for this event and inviting others to donate and support this initiative.
As we say, "If Not Now, When?" Let's work together to make this event a memorable one and set the stage for a remarkable 2026.
We look forward to your support and participation. Devil tried to sink this great ship, but God who chose us before Him according John 15:16 which still Motivates the young soldiers of Christ to have a great impact in Malawi!
Joseph Kazembe
Please, will you keep Bishop Joseph and his family as well as as the OUT Youths and their leaders + their families in your prayers. Please pray for their protection and much needed provisions for every need, and everyone's safe traveling on the difficult roads as they go out to minister, to reach out to those in need.
Know that your faithful contributions are bearing much fruit in many African countries and will also impact by making a huge difference to those in need of food in Malawi.
May God Bless Malawi!!
