Many years ago, people just like you began to have a burden for Malawi, Africa. The overwhelming

needs of the widows and orphans were heartbreaking, yet the tremendous hunger for Jesus was

humbling and exciting.

A ministry was born to care for these vulnerable women and children, and teams continued to travel

to Malawi to share the gospel to the local villages. Over time, the need was realized to build a full-scale

orphan care facility, creating not only a central place to care for the widows and orphans, but a hub for

unlimited ministry opportunities.

Esther’s House has the capacity to house up to 100 residential children and currently has programs

in place to meet the needs of many other orphans and widows living in the surrounding community.

The ministry of Esther’s House continues to expand through visionary projects such as medical clinics,

educational opportunities, vocational training and agricultural sustainability.

WHAT IS BORROWED TALENT?Well, let’s break this down. It’s enabling a ministry to “Borrow” your “Talent” to make an impact for the Kingdom. In return, you receive the blessing of filling an extremely important ministry role and gain a life changing experience you will never forget.

WHAT IF I HAVEN’T GRADUATED YET OR CAN’T GO LONG-TERM?Our ideal is a college graduate who can give a full year of service. If you are called to go earlier in your college career, we will work with your schedule to accommodate a semester or a summer ministry term. We also have local US intern opportunities for those that want to serve from home.

WHAT ABOUT MONEY?Don’t shortchange what God wants to do through you by worrying over your shortage of change! The reality is we have never had a single person follow our training and not raise the funds necessary to go fulfill their calling to serve. The cost of the trip will vary based on the duration and time of year.

WHERE AND HOW WOULD I LIVE?Local lodging and food will be provided as part of your all-inclusive living cost. Clean, running water and electricity is available along with the opportunity for weekly Wi-Fi access. Transportation will be a bicycle or possible use of a ministry vehicle, depending on the need.

HOW WOULD I KNOW WHAT TO DO?Once your ministry role is determined, a specific plan and set of guidelines will be developed and any essential training and ministry materials will be provided for you before your term begins. In addition, frequent communication and reporting procedures will be established to provide you with necessary support and accountability along the way.

WHAT NEXT?If you want to know more about how you can be a part of

what God is doing through Pure Mission in Malawi, Africa, let us know.

We would love to borrow your talents!
