CPC is providing life and hope for a beleaguered region on the other side of the world. Our partnership will give back so much in terms of new relationships, deepening faith, Christian witness, and abundant hope. We have hardly taken the initial steps of a great adventure. Y-Malawi is no longer a vision in the heart of one man and a growing possibility in the minds of church leaders across the country: this integrated partnership is now a moving and creative reality, sustained by hope and our commitment. World Vision's mission uses John 10:10 as a guide for the children we serve, and it seems to apply to the Y-Malawi mission as well , "Life in all of its fullness," our vision for every heart, "The will to make it so." Be you an adult, child, grandchild, or grandparent family member - or just giving a gift to another - our hope and prayer is for each of us to experience this unique opportunity to help our world grow closer together. Become a Child Sponsor. Central Presbyterian Church has a long history of supporting life changing mission projects. In the last two years we have built on this legacy with renewed focus on hands-on missions. The people of Malawi, a nation in southeastern Africa, need our help. Like many African nations, Malawi has been ravaged by poverty, illiteracy and, most dramatically, AIDS. CPC has a plan to respond in an area known as Nkhoma, in central Malawi. We are not alone in this project. CPC will team with other Presbyterian churches - La Jolla Presbyterian, Hollywood Presbyterian, San Clemente Presbyterian, First Presbyterian in Houston, Peachtree Presbyterian in Atlanta and First Evangelical Church Association - as well as World Vision, a relief and development organization, to launch the Nkhoma, Malawi Area Development Program (ADP). An ADP is intended to run for at least 15 years to set up infrastructure to enable deserving people to help themselves. World Vision is a 50 year old faith based organization with a long standing track record for success. Last year alone this organization helped 100 million people in 99 countries. They accomplish these tremendous feats with the support of churches like CPC. More information on World Vision can be found on their web site www.worldvision.org. More information on Malawi can be found at www.wvi.org/wvi/country_profile/profiles/malawi.htm. Start up cost for the Nkhoma, Malawi ADP is $170,000 and CPC's commitment is 10% of this total or $17,000. Our hope is to fund this amount thorough "extra commitment" giving.
