Kossi and Whitney Akpi
Our family has had the privilege of serving in Malawi for nearly a decade, where we are raising our three children and living alongside the communities we serve. We believe that lasting change grows through relationships, and believe in building up and empowering local leaders.
Over the years, we've had the privilege of partnering with local leaders through Brothers in Arms, Extending Hope Organization, and Family Hope International. Rather than creating projects for communities, our desire has always been to come alongside the people already leading them. Together, those partnerships have supported community-led initiatives in food security, housing, irrigation, education, healthcare, and economic development—work shaped by local vision, ownership, and long-term commitment. Our calling is simply to build bridges between people, prayer, and purpose, helping connect those who desire to serve with the incredible work God is already doing in Malawi.
Hospitality has always been at the heart of our family's ministry. We love gathering people around our table, believing that some of life's most meaningful conversations happen over a shared meal. For three years, our home was filled each week as we hosted a young adults worship night—a place where people could worship, pray, share a meal, and simply belong. Whether welcoming neighbors, friends, ministry teams, or travelers, we hope our home reflects the welcome of Christ. Our vision is to see thriving communities where families flourish spiritually, physically, and economically for generations to come, and to invite others into that story through authentic relationships, prayer, and faithful partnership. We are grateful for every person who walks alongside us as together we seek to bring hope that endures.
