Beyond the page
Homeless outreach in the San Francisco Bay Area and a ministry partnership in Malawi, funded entirely by book royalties.
The book behind the work
Every cent earned by The Prayer helps fund community outreach and ministry partnerships.
San Francisco Bay Area
On the Streets of San Francisco
This initiative supports neighbors experiencing homelessness through direct outreach: food, water, personal connection, and copies of The Prayer. The goal is not only to distribute resources, but to meet people with dignity, presence, and compassion.
Every cent of royalties from The Prayer helps fund this outreach. This is personal, community-level engagement, not a registered nonprofit organization.

Malawi Ministry Partnership
The Prayer in Malawi
The Prayer was translated into Chichewa, the language spoken across Malawi, and created for ministry use. Free physical copies have been carried and given, one by one, through a local ministry partnership. The project is in a responsible expansion stage as Stefania learns more about the community's needs.

Voices from the work
Verified stories and reflections from those touched by the ministry: readers, partners, and neighbors met along the way.
The Prayer has been a gift to our communities. It arrived in our own language, Chichewa, and met people in their deepest seasons. We have seen hearts turned, hope restored, and families praying together again.
Bishop Edward Mikwamba
I received a copy through the outreach in San Francisco during one of the hardest weeks of my life. That small book became my morning anchor. I have never felt so seen, or so held.

She didn't just hand us food and water. She stopped. She looked us in the eye. She treated us like people, not problems. That kind of dignity stays with you longer than any meal.
