The Evergreen Missions Committee is hosting the annual Missions Sunday at Evergreen this May 4. Our guest preacher is Fletcher Matandika, a Malawian and founder of Ministry of Hope, an orphanage in Malawi. The Fresh Start Microloans group comprised of Evergreen Presbyterian and Chehalem Valley Presbyterian members, awarded a loan to Kingsley, a Malawian entrepreneur who is opening an operating grocery kiosks on the street of his city. Jay Stoms, teacher at African Bible College in Malawi, supported by Evergreen, connected us to Kingsley and is our onsite manager of the microloan. It just so happens that Kingsley was an orphan, taken into Ministry of Hope years ago by Fletcher Matandika! He raised Kingsley and brought him along to the point where he enrolled at African Bible College where he met Jay Stoms.Fletcher Matandika is presently living in the USA, studying at Westminster Seminary California. When our Missions Committee put two and two together (and stopped singing, “It’s a small world after all…”) the members extended an invitation to Fletcher to preach at our annual Missions Sunday. The result for you, should you choose to join us is that you will be stirred by his preaching and helped along in your pursuit of Christ.
Listen to Fletcher Matandika’s sermon preached at Evergreen Presbyterian Church.
