PB✞J for life
Motivated by love – Driven By Purpose
PB✞J was founded in 2012 to combat the deadly effects of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) on children. This severe lack of proper nutrition causes children’s bodies to be stunted, brain damage, and sadly death in all severe cases.
The ministry conducts medical outreaches several times a week in Malawian villages evaluating up to 300 children in each outreach. Approximately 30% of the children evaluated fall in a category of malnourishment or in the range of SAM. These children are prescribed our Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF).
Every 10 seconds, a child dies from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM). Our mission is clear, end child deaths from SAM, provide the life-healing proteins and nutrients children need to promote proper growth in their bodies and brains, and make Christ known to those who do not know Him.
Our Mission
Compassionate Hearts. Guided By Jesus.
As we merge Christian values with the beautiful aspects of local culture, villages thrive. As Malawians serve Malawians, villages are reformed with hearts open to Christ as their King.
Medical Outreach
PB✞J conducts medical outreaches in rural villages, reaching children in medical needs, some who have never seen a doctor before. By providing those diagnosed with malnutrition and/or SAM with our RUTF fortified peanut paste mixture, children are lifted out of a deadly spiral and given hope for a future.
Sports Ministry
Our team orchestrates fun events featuring relays, soccer, volleyball, music, dancing, and more. Through these engaging platforms, we forge profound connections with communities, fostering deeper and more personal relationships.
Gospel Ministry
Sharing Christ’s love and salvation is by far the most important aspect of our ministry. Both those weak from malnutrition or strong in health, need to know the saving message of the gospel. Through our symbolic yellow scarfs, we proclaim the simplicity of salvation.
Local Empowerment
We have empolyed and trained locals to run our operations, ensuring that we add value to society and industry in Malawi.
