Merry Christmas from the Staff and Children at Good Samaritan!
Here is the long awaited update.
Food:
Not too long ago we were able to purchase corn for 750K ($5.14) and now the corn is 3500K ($25.74) a bag. We use 75 bags of corn a month. Brother Gentry just located enough Corn to get the feed the Children’s home through the month of March. The cost of this corn was $10,000. Please pray.

The school year in Malawi begins in January. This year we will have 25 children in High School. We are praising the Lord for Lighthouse Independent Baptist Church in West Virginia who has covered the tuition cost for the first term. The children are so thankful for the opportunity to attend school.
The remaining needs for this school term include 25 pairs of shoes. These shoes must be purchased in Malawi and cost $20 a pair. Please prayerfully consider helping with this need.

Although the cost of gas in the US has gone down, that is not the case in Malawi. The cost of fuel continues to rise. The children are transported by a Good Samaritan vehicle. The vehicle and the driver stay at the school for the entire day, because we can not afford for the vehicle to come back to the Children’s Home and then return to pick up the children.
Every cost that can be cut has been cut. Every shortcut that can be taken has been taken. There is not a school closer, there is not a school cheaper, and God has not opened the door to have the children taught on the Good Samaritan Campus. The sacrifice made for each dollar that has been donated has been considered. The goal of Good Samaritan continues to be to stretch each dollar as far as it can be stretched and to use the money for the most urgent needs and in a way that is pleasing to the Lord.
Wellness:
This is malaria season. We are praising the Lord for his supernatural mosquito net. We have not had any cases of Malaria so far this season. This is truly a miracle and direct answer to prayer. Thank you to those who faithfully pray for the health and safety of these children and staff.
Christmas Note from Thandie:
“I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of our supporters. The children, staff and I pray for you all daily. We are thankful for your generosity and faithfulness. We pray that the Lord will bless you and your families this holiday season and throughout this upcoming New York. We could not meet the needs of these precious children without your faithful prayer and financial support. Thank you and God Bless You”
