Africa Outreach

Friends.

We are just finishing up a very productive mission to Malawi, Africa. Thank you for your prayers and support. We were able to reach over 6,000 people with the gospel. I also visited so many water wells WWFA has installed over the past 16 years. I was so happy to find them all working and to discover that the clean water has completely eliminated cholera and water borne diseases. I was able to finally visit the first borehole installed in Nchiwa Village 16 years ago. I was overjoyed to find it still providing clean water after so much time.

Praise God!

- Pastor Kurt Dahlin
 

 

WHO WE ARE
 
Africa Outreach is a yearly evangelistic summer mission to Malawi, led by Pastor Kurt Dahlin. We partner with the vision of the national Foursquare leadership to strengthen, encourage and grow the rural churches. Visiting sites where fresh water wells have recently been drilled, we utilize creative arts and the Jesus film to make the love of Jesus known to as many as possible. Last year our teams were able to minister to close to 15,000 people and visited 12 schools!
 
 
THIS YEAR
 
Our summer trip this year is planned for June-July (exact dates to be announced). We will be departing from Los Angeles for a 6-week trip. The estimated cost is $4000 per person. Please contact our church office for more information at thebreakwateroffce@yahoo.com. Applications are available for download below.
 
 
OUR HISTORY
 
In 1991, Pastor Kurt Dahlin began to lead annual outreach teams to the  Republic of  South Africa. In 1994, Dahlin went to   Malawi,  Africa  and discovered a great love for the people and culture. By 1996 Pastor Kurt began training and sending short-term teams to serve alongside Pastor Bob Brack (the Foursquare missionary in   Malawi at the time). During this time Pastor Kurt also developed the Water Wells For Africa project and local partnerships that have become the current WWFA organization (www.waterwellsforafrica.org).
 
Today, the Breakwater church still partners with Pastor Brack's, now, Malawian run and operated church-plant, the Blantyre Foursquare Church. Teams from the Breakwater, along with, surrounding   South   Bay churches and Christian colleges and universities continue to minister in rural Malawian villages every summer.
 
The congregants of the   Blantyre   Foursquare   Church  have become crucial ministry partners and great friends. Pastor Kurt has re-named the teams’ fearless interpreters, "The Lions of Blantyre" for their ceaseless passion in prayer, preaching, and pursuit of the lost. Together with the "Lions" and local pastors, Breakwater's Africa Outreach Teams share the Jesus film, conduct church services and provide much need medical education and first aid. Ultimately, all of these efforts center on showing the true, life-giving, love of Christ and encouraging the rural   church of   Malawi ,   Central Africa.
