Malawi Mission Trip 2025: Walking with the Yawo Dates: 13th – 28th September 2025 Location: Mangochi, Malawi Why am I going? “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.” – Luke 10:2
As a member of the Missionary Task Force (MTF) team at Rockhampton Baptist Church I’ve been given the opportunity to support and connect with some of the missionaries we partner with on the ground. This trip is a chance to walk alongside the Yawo people in Malawi– a community facing deep poverty where over 70% live on less than US$2/day, face ongoing food insecurity, limited access to education and healthcare. Yet, in the midst of hardship, there is faith, resilience, and hope. Our mission isn’t about “fixing” — it’s about walking alongside, learning, and building lasting relationships rooted in love, dignity, and the good news of Jesus. We’ll be: • Supporting local Yawo faith leaders and churches • Encouraging women’s empowerment through the sewing project • Learning from long-term missionaries Tim & Mel Downes and Jean-Claude & Joyce (20+ years in Mangochi) • Sharing faith, prayer, and labouring with humility • Completing projects such as building and funding a stone oven for the community to generate ongoing income The money raised is for the purpose of covering travel costs (Airfare, ground transport and accommodation) remaining expenses will be self-funded.
