The three week team will be leaving Malawi today, and it is definitely a sad goodbye.. We have become so close as a team, with everyone bringing special and unique characteristics that helped to form this special bond between us. Us left behind will miss them very much.. Please pray for safe travels for the team. I'm sure you will all see them very soon and hear many wonderful stories! 

"It's sad to leave the Passion Center today. Driving down the now familiar dusty roads for the last time made me think of our first days here. I was unsure of what to expect. . . Everything was new and unknown. Now after just a few short weeks, Zomba feels like home. The villagers were always welcoming to us, the children would run from their homes and wave to us as we azungus drove by, and we were always greeted with a warm smile and "muli bwanji".  I will miss that terribly. Even more I will miss the Passion Center kids who were content with nothing more than for us to hold their hands. They are such special kids. And then there is the Passion staff who all are so committed to the kids, the community and God's kingdom. They fully live their faith without hesitation. They are selfless in their commitment to the children and I feel blessed to know them and have them as a part of my life. I will miss them all!" -Kathy

"Wow. What an amazing time in Malawi. I am extremely sad to leave. God's hand is absolutely at work here. With a heavy heart, I leave but I know these kids are in good hands. The staff are unbelievable God fearing people. The thing that I believe I have learned the most is how amazing The Lord is. His provision is amazing and he cares for his children. So many testimonies of God simply providing for every need because this is where His heart can be found. The tears I have poured out fade and I realize this is not a forgotten place. God will always care for his children." -Marc

"What a wonderful experience! 

It was a blessing to see how the staff had a heart for God and to know that his little angels are in good hands." -Desmond
