Unique opportunity....Please Pray!


Amitofo Care Centre is an Taiwanese-funded orphanage located in Malawi not too far from Good Samaritan. The children in this orphanage are taught Buddhism. This past week the orphanage directer contacted Good Samaritan and asked if they could bring 27 of their orphans to Good Samaritan to distribute "holiday" gifts. They were also interested in having the children participate in a game of futbol and
netball (soccer and basketball).






Thandie said that she would only agree if the Good Samaritan children were allowed to sing Gospel songs and share the Gospel with their kids. The orphanage director agreed! So on Monday 12/24 (Christmas Eve!!) the children from the Buddhist orphanage will be coming to Good Samaritan to hear the Gospel! Please be in prayer for this special opportunity. This maybe the only time these children will hear the good news of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ that provides full and free deliverance from the power and penalty of sin according to the grace of God alone through faith in Jesus Christ alone! Please pray that many of these children will come to know Christ and that God will make a way for us to continue to minister to these children.
This is Phillip! He is the third born son of Henry, the president of the Good Samaritan Bible College. Phillip became a big brother and a "middle child" this week, when his mother Rebbecca gave birth to baby boy number five, Samuel. When I posted about Samuel's birth earlier in the week, I couldn't remember this sweet boys name. I called around and no one knew his name. He has only been a middle child for a couple of days and already nobody could remember his name! Once I was able to reach his cousin Thandie.....she told me right away....his name is "Phillip". So here is ....Phillip....I don't think I will ever forget his name now!

Chrissie - Merry Christmas to you! Great things are really happening for Good Samaritan since you left your heart there! I pray when our church group goes there this September you will be there too so our people can meet the one we speak of so often! It is absolutely wonderful the Christmas the children will have this year thanks to the churches in the states, Celtel and Miss Chrissie!Denise Kennedy

That is great news that the Good Samaritan children will be able to share the gospel message with these other children. I came the verse that God's word does not go out and return void. These children will be touched by what they hear and the seed will be planted.
