Sara ( Chipembere) Taylor and the team prepare for Missions work in Malawi. Pastor Gary Ham facilitated the session on September 5, 2018 in Rochester NY. The team of five served in Malawi October 11-23, 2018 primarily working in Mangochi and the village of Malindi where Sara's family resides.

My father, John P. Chipembere was a Malawian who lived in the United States for more than 40 years and returned to Malawi where he passed away in October 2016.
"For the last 12 years, my aunt Catherine Chipembere has asked for my assistance to fundraise and write grants for the Women’s Initiative Network (WIN) a non-profit she founded". The aim of Women’s Initiative Network (WIN) is to support orphaned and impoverished children in rural Malawi as well are their caregivers, who are usually women, by providing them with the physical and educational tools to overcome poverty, hunger, and disease.
It took many years but as I began to understand and submit to the greater “call” on my life, I am obligated to use my skills, experience and talents to help her and the WIN organization. For many years I watched my father support our family and charity work in Malawi and the United States. My son Darwin and I partnered with four missionaries to implement a trip October 2018 to serve and help the WIN organization.
Our 2020 trip was postponed due to Covid-19 but stay tune for information on our spring 2022 Health and Workforce Sister City Project.
I feel blessed and humbled to serve in Malawi and spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and his unconditional love through community service projects.
