THE JOURNEY
2013
PAF is established with the vision of spreading the love and good news of Jesus Christ through quality Christian education, mentorship, and scholarship programs.
2020
In the midst of COVID, while following health & safety regulations, PAF continues to support and provide for our scholars. More students and more schools have been reached out to join PAF while more donors also endlessly show support for our dear scholars. As of June 2020, we are supporting 120 schools, 891 students.
2014-2017
PAF begins working alongside various organizations throughout Malawi to provide funding for different needs, including: feeding programs, constructing a cafeteria for underprivileged students, building churches, supporting local churches and missionaries, prison ministries, etc. PAF also begins supporting ministries outside of Malawi, including a seminary in South Africa and other non-Malawian missionaries.
2018
PAF launches its PaceHope scholarship program and begins to identify and accept applicants in Malawi for sponsorship. PAF expands its staff with a team of Malawian pastors and mentors who provide biblical mentorship and pastoral care for the students as well as oversee day-to-day operations on the field.
2019
PAF holds its first annual summer retreat in Malawi in collaboration with other ministries. PAF continues to expand its scholarship program to support over 500 students with the help of its growing staff and many donors.
PACEHOPE Scholarship Program
PaceHope Scholarship Program was launched in July 2018 on the conviction that community support, through provision of scholarships, could bring secondary (high school) education within reach for hundreds of thousands of Malawian students who, otherwise, would not have those opportunities. Today, we continue in these efforts to make educational success a possibility for all students. PaceHope Scholarship Program aims to support hundreds of scholarships and education assistance programs across the nation of Malawi. As of 2021, we have supported over 1180 secondary school students.
Our long-term goals are to:
-
Develop an ongoing PaceHope Scholarship Program that will continue to gain support for future generations to come, by touching the lives of the current generation
-
Expand the reach of the PaceHope Scholarship Program
-
Expand the program beyond post-secondary education
-
Develop and publish Christian literature for the Christian church in and outside of Malawi
-
Establish a support program for teachers and educators
-
Develop a Christian library and resources center
-
Create jobs and provide employment to operate the programs
VISION
To spread the love and Good News of Jesus Christ through quality Christian education, mentorship, and scholarship programs.
