Josiah & Kayla Bridgewater | AGWM | Africa

The Bridgewaters are currently living in Malawi where they are serving as fully appointed missionaries with the Assemblies of God and are focused on children's ministry. The need for children’s ministry in Malawi is at an all-time high. With nearly ten million children living in Malawi, most churches do not have a trained person for children’s ministry. Many churches want to reach the children around them but don’t know where to start. They work with the national church to train and equip the church to effectively reach children for Christ. This is a case where the harvest is great, but the workers are few. They also work with local churches to bring care to the orphans around them. Nearly one in every ten children in Malawi is an orphan. They work to bring hope to the least of these.
