Willie Mpasuka is one of our missions partners from Malawi and the director of Rays of Hope. Their mission is to empower young adults with vocational training and provide high-quality education that paves the way for university opportunities and sustainable livelihoods.

​

Seven years ago, Willie visited New Ridge and joined one of our men’s life groups while pursuing his master’s degree at Eastern University. Inspired by his own journey—where a dedicated teacher in Malawi helped him rise from the bottom to the top of his class—Willie went on to become a UPI Fellow and a college graduate.

​

God has since called Willie to a ministry that is making a remarkable impact on education and empowerment across Malawi. Today, his educational model reaches over half of the school districts in the country and has achieved the highest proficiency scores nationwide. Through Rays of Hope, Willie and his team give students the tools and encouragement to overcome barriers and build brighter futures.​​
