It is written in the bible that man ought to work hard. 2 Thessalonians 3:10 reads, “Even when we were with you, we were giving you this command: ‘If anyone does not work, they should not eat.” The story of 48-year-old Maggie Phiri Nkhatabay district in Malawi is a greater testament to this biblical wisdom. Despite being a pastor and a single mother, Phiri is striving to succeed in life using God-given blessings. After attending a World Vision-championed Empowered World View (EWV) training, Phiri, a pastor for the Pentecostal Apostolic Church, decided to use what she had at her disposal to empower herself and her family. Today, Phiri is growing maize, cassava and bananas on her five-acre land. Through the proceeds from the farming business, Phiri has managed to build a house with electricity and bought goats, local chicken, a fridge and other basic household items. She also supports her children with school fees and other school needs. Phiri continues to preach about the Empowered World View philosophy to her congregants. #empoweredwomen |#empoweredcommunities |#empoweredpeople |#EmpoweredNation |#WeAreWorldVision World Vision World Vision Southern Africa World Vision USA World Food Programme UNICEF World Vision UK
