We give thanks to the Lord for Harold and Goodson and their successful calendar distribution trip this past week. They travelled throughout the Central and Northern regions, visiting many faithful distributors and ensuring the gospel calendars reached communities far and wide.

We are grateful that almost the entire supply of 1,000,000 gospel calendars has now been distributed. However, demand exceeded supply, and sadly the materials available did not meet the full need.

Please join us in thanking God for the work accomplished, and pray for wisdom to know how best to deploy our resources moving forward so that these vital gospel materials can continue to reach those who eagerly seek them.

Pray

As Stephen, Gail, Anna, and Goodson travel to Johannesburg from Monday to Thursday, we would value your prayers for their journey and their work. They hope to source hardware and supplies for the building project, as well as bedding and essential items for the conference accommodation.

Please also pray for favour and fruitful meetings as Stephen connects with potential building‑material suppliers. May the Lord guide each decision, provide needed resources, and grant safety throughout their travels.

Pray

Later this week, Stephen and Gail will be travelling to Malawi, where they expect to spend around one month supporting the work on the ground.

Please pray for safe travel, good health, and smooth connections as they journey. Pray also that their time in Malawi would be fruitful, marked by encouragement, wisdom, and strength as they work alongside the local team.

A key focus during this period will be the ongoing distribution of the Gospel Calendar. We are thankful that a significant number of calendars have already been distributed in the southern region of Malawi. In the days ahead, attention will increasingly shift toward the Central and Northern regions.

Please pray for:

  • Open doors as calendars continue to be shared
  • Protection and energy for those involved in distribution
  • Hearts that are receptive to the message of God’s Word
  • Good coordination as focus moves to new regions

Thank you for standing with us in prayer and support. Your partnership makes this work possible and helps ensure that God’s Word continues to reach communities across Malawi.

We give thanks to God that the Mitsubishi Canter engine swap has been successfully completed. The Canter is a vital part of our ministry, carrying building materials for the construction project as well as medium‑sized loads of literature. Having it back in service is a real blessing.

The new engine was not an exact replacement for the old one. Because of this, several modifications had to be made to ensure everything could fit and run correctly. As a result of these changes, the vehicle no longer has power‑steering capability. We are grateful that the installation went well, and we ask you to pray that all will continue to run smoothly as the team adjusts to these changes.

Thank you for remembering this practical side of the work. Your prayers and support keep essential resources moving so that the Gospel can reach many more people.

Pray

We ask for prayer as the final work is completed on installing a replacement second-hand engine in our Mitsubishi Canter truck.

The work is now substantially done, but a number of modifications have been required along the way. Please pray that these adjustments will prove successful, that no further issues arise, and that the vehicle can soon be returned to reliable and useful service.

This truck plays an important role in transporting Gospel literature and supporting day-to-day ministry operations. Thank you for praying with us for a good outcome and God’s provision in this practical need.

Pray

We ask for prayer as we begin the task of distributing around 1,000,000 Gospel calendars that have just been received in Malawi.

Over the next few weeks, these calendars will be supplied to our literature distributors across the entire country—reaching towns, villages, and remote rural areas. This represents a major logistical challenge, involving long distances, limited transport, rising fuel costs, and careful coordination.

We are constantly encouraged by the feedback we receive of souls saved and lives transformed through this work. These testimonies motivate us to keep going, despite the challenges, trusting God to continue using His Word to bring lasting fruit.

Please pray for safety, strength, and wisdom for all involved, and that this literature would be used by God to bring light, hope, and truth into many homes and hearts.

Pray

Please pray this week as Anna returns to Malawi after several weeks in the United States. She will be accompanied by her brother, who will visit for a couple of weeks. Please pray for safe travel, good health, and a refreshing, encouraging time together.

We also value prayer for Stephen and Gail, who will be travelling to Malawi towards the end of the month. Please pray for smooth journeys, protection, and strength for all that lies ahead.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer as the work continues.

Give thanks with us for the safe arrival of the literature container shipped from N. Ireland in October. Although the container was evidently tampered with en route, and some contents were stolen, the majority of items, including around 3,000,000 Gospel Calendars and tracts, arrived intact.

We praise God that trans-shipment from the port of Nacala (Mozambique) and customs clearance in Malawi happened quickly.

Give thanks with us that an order for 5,000 Emmaus booklets has just been sent to our local printer in Malawi. This latest print run brings the total number of Emmaus booklets produced to around 17,000 since we relaunched the Emmaus work in mid-2025—a significant encouragement as demand continues to grow.

This order includes courses on Personal Evangelism, Marriage, and Growing as a Believer, along with a handbook for students who graduate to become Emmaus markers. These materials are intended to strengthen believers and equip them to help others grow in their faith. Most of the booklets will ultimately be used across Central and Northern Malawi through the work of Emmaus Road Trust.

We are especially thankful for the many hours of translation, revision, and careful editing that have gone into the Emmaus material. This often unseen labour has now resulted in a major milestone: we have 18 Emmaus courses available in Chichewa, providing a solid and growing foundation for Bible teaching and discipleship throughout Malawi.

Please join us in praising the Lord for His provision, for those who have laboured faithfully behind the scenes, and for the lasting spiritual fruit that will come from placing these resources into eager hands.

Give thanks with us that the much-delayed replacement engine for our Mitsubishi Canter truck has now arrived safely in Malawi. The engine was purchased second-hand in South Africa, and its arrival is a real answer to prayer after a long season of waiting and uncertainty.

We would now value your prayers for the next crucial step. Please pray that our local mechanic will be able to install the engine successfully and get the truck running very soon. This vehicle is central to many aspects of the work — transporting literature, materials, and people — and its absence has been significantly hampering progress across several ministries.

Thank you for joining us in giving thanks for safe arrival, and in asking the Lord to swiftly restore this essential vehicle to service for the work ahead.
