data-header=\"0\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\">By Casey Jarmes | The News-Review<\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\">SIGOURNEY \u2013 Asante Henry Masanche, the pastor from Blantyre, Malawi, visited Sigourney from Jan. 3-8. Masanche operates Brothers in Arms Ministry, a church that takes in, houses, and teaches homeless children in Malawi. He opened his church in 2019; since then, 150 children have gone through the program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\">\u201cThis started up as a ministry of the church. We went to plant a church somewhere closer to town, and as we were praying there, we saw street children eating from the dustbin,\u201d said Masanche. \u201cIt was so bad that we asked, \u2018Could you guys join us for Bible study? And after the Bible study, we\u2019ll give you a piece of bread or something to eat, not really eat from the dustbin.\u2019 So we did that, and the next week, when we went back there for Bible study, the boys came back and joined us in the Bible study, and that became a routine. And then we felt that maybe God has sent us to town, to minister to them, not necessarily to plant a church. Maybe He has sent us to give them a home, maybe to help them find purpose, and maybe find their way back into the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\">Malawi, a nation of 21 million people in Easter Africa, has heavy problems with poverty and homelessness. Children staying at Masanche\u2019s campus are given shelter, taught about the Bible, and given vocational training so they can leave the church as responsible citizens. The center has a farm where children help grow the food they eat at the center. Masanche stated that the farm helps teach kids a daily routine and how to farm on their own land after they leave. The center has football and basketball teams, to teach the children patience, hard work, and to socialize with other children in the community. Masanche also does ministry in juvenile prisons, teaching bible studies, providing education materials, and helping inmates after they are released.<\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\">Kelly Mousel, Outreach Coordinator of Sigourney evangelical church Be the Light Ministry, came into contact with Masanche shortly after his ministry began, while looking into doing missionary work in Africa. Her church has been partnered with Brothers in Arms for five years, helping pay to build the center and the farm, cover operating costs, and sponsoring children at the center. This month, Masanche visited Sigourney to thank the church partners and explain the work he had been doing. He noted that it had been difficult to get a visa to travel to the U.S. and that he had to make this trip shortly after his wife had given birth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\">During his time in Iowa, Masanche also visited the Snakenberg and Hinnah farms, toured Sinclair Tractor, toured the school, and attended a pair of high school basketball games. He noted that Iowa was very cold and that he was shocked by how much space there was between houses, in contrast to the crowded city of Blantyre. \u201cWhat a beautiful community, I think. It\u2019s been refreshing, and very beautiful visiting here,\u201d the pastor said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\">After leaving Sigourney, Masanche visited another church that sponsors his ministry, located in Colorado, and visited Washington before traveling home to Malawi. He stated that his ministry had grown last year and that he wanted to bring in more children and expand their farming, obtaining more land and expanding their irrigation system, so the farm can support their outreach ministries and juvenile program.<\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph heading0\" data-header=\"0\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-hd-info=\"0\" data-line-height=\"1.2\">Mousel stated that the visit went wonderfully, with Masanche being moved by the community, the beauty of Iowa, and the family atmosphere at Be the Light. She stated that she first came into contact with Masanche during the COVID-19 pandemic, when there was a curfew in place in Blantyre, with homeless boys arrested for being on the streets at night. At that time, Masanche was taking homeless boys into his own home. She stated that, when they met, he was only a few days away from sending the boys out onto the street because he couldn\u2019t afford to feed his family. \u201cAnd so that is the beauty of what God does. And since then, since our church\u2019s beginning, we have agreed and trusted in God that God would help,\u201d said Mousel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"zw-paragraph\" data-margin-bottom=\"12pt\" data-line-height=\"1.2\">\u201cThe visit was an answered prayer,\u201d said Mousel. \u201cBecause sometimes, when you\u2019re dealing with an international non-profit, you help see the idea start at inception and then just seeing the beauty of it, and sometimes just seeing the boys on FaceTime and knowing that they exist, and talking to Paster Asante and messaging him, you know that it is real, but to see the fruition of prayer come in physical form, there\u2019s nothing like it. It\u2019s amazing. It was blessed from the start. We felt a connection, because we had already built this friendship for the past five years. But to see him, to shake his hand, to hug him, to say, \u2018This is what God has done,\u2019 it\u2019s marvelous. And then to hear his stories, and to hear how these boys that literally had no hope, and these hart-wrenching stories about how they were digging in the garbage for food because they were orphaned, or one of their parents had left them, and one boy was trying to support his grandfather because that\u2019s all he had left, because his grandfather supported him, and then his grandfather got too old to work, and so he was trying to go beg in the streets to take care of his invalid grandfather. You just sit and you cry, but then to hear that this boy, now he\u2019s a man, and he has a vocation that he learned through the giving of God\u2019s people, and he has an education now and a family now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Casey Jarmes | The News-Review SIGOURNEY \u2013 Asante Henry Masanche, the pastor from Blantyre, Malawi, visited Sigourney from Jan. 3-8.
