Ministry Monday: Malachi Ministries

Malachi Ministries

Website: http://malachi.org/

I heard about this ministry while listening to AFN, the Armed Forces Network, a radio station which caters to those in the miltary around the world and other English speaking listeners. They were interviewing some of the volunteers for Malachi Ministries and I had to find out more abou them.

Malachi Children's Ministry is a joint venture of Cadence International and Child Evangelism Fellowship, Inc. (CEF). With the strength and experience of Cadence International in working within the military culture and with the proven success of CEF in reaching children for Christ, we create a synergy that allows more powerful ministry to these special children.

Around four million people call the U.S. Military "home." This includes almost one million children of military and civilian personnel. Within this American subculture, approximately 25-35% of the people in a given community move every year. Most assignments for people in the U.S. Military last a mere two to three years with the end of the assignment possibly bringing a move across the world. Children in this environment must continually adjust and make new friends. One or both parents may leave on deployment or on an unaccompanied assignment for six months to a year. Military life can be difficult for all involved. These children need people in their lives to anchor them in Jesus, the Rock of Ages.

If you would like to help Malachi Ministries, there are several ways you can do so.
  • Pray their leaders and missionaries all around the world as well as for all the students to whom they get to minister. Give them receptive hearts and may the hearts of their families be receptive as well.
  • Donate your frequent flyer miles. Learn more here.

Hello Tiffany and all at Lifted Mag. I'm a staff member at Cadence Intl/Malachi Ministries. Thanks so much for helping spread the word about this ministry. Your Magazine sounds really interesting. I signed up for getting the mag via email. Looking forward to receiving it soon.

BTW... we've just recently relaunched www.malachi.org so a few of your links in the post aren't working. That's our fault for not making sure past links are accurate... but thought you'd like to know. You can find out how to donate to Cadence/Malachi here: http://www.malachi.org/index.php/support/give

I hope to read more in the future.
