This weekend is the deadline for churches and individuals to donate items to be shipped to Malawi, Africa, to assist the prison ministry of the Rev. Yong-jin Kim.
Mr. Kim, pastor of Hanmi Covenant Presbyterian Church in West Toledo, recently moved to Malawi to start a program for inmates to provide biblical lessons and teach them such skills as farming and animal husbandry. Half of the crops and livestock raised will go to the inmates and the rest will go to orphans, nursing homes, and hospitals nearby.
All kinds of items, including farm equipment, chairs and desks, computers, and exercise gear, are needed at the prison and offices, Mr. Kim said. A 40-foot container will be shipped from Toledo to Africa next week.
The program is overseen by the nonprofit Prison Fellowship International and all donations are tax-deductible. Information: 419-410-7452.
