Imagine being unable to leave your home because of a physical disability. Now imagine that your only toilet—unsanitary and falling apart—is unusable.
This was the reality for Pitana, an elderly woman living with a disability in a remote part of Malawi. With no means to rebuild her toilet, she faced daily struggles that left her feeling isolated and helpless.
But thanks to Kingdom Workers and the help of her neighbors, Pitana’s story didn’t end there. Volunteers worked together to build her a new toilet—one that’s safe, sanitary, and accessible. The new design includes a cover, which helps protect Pitana and her community from deadly diseases like cholera.
There is something truly magical about watching your child take their first steps. The uncertainty and cautiousness of each step. The look of determination on their face. The sheer joy and celebration of the accomplishment. It is an exciting and memorable event.

As we celebrate Disability Awareness Month, I am reminded of a heartwarming story that encapsulates the essence of our mission at Kingdom Workers. This story, titled "Wet head and wet cheeks," told by Pastor Michael D. Zarling of Water of Life Lutheran Church beautifully illustrates how Jesus Cares touches lives.
During a recent visit to Worship at the Cross, a tailored church service for those with disabilities, I was drawn in by the confident and measured chords of the hymn. The pianist was Matthew, a wonderful example of a Jesus Cares participant sharing their God-given talents in order for the gospel to be a light to others.
