Please pray about the water supply at Saidi. Water comes from an on-site borehole, but this has been giving intermittent problems over the past couple of weeks, and has now stopped completely.

Our first borehole gave problems when it ran dry and we had to re-drill a deeper well. An engineer is to visit the site to try to establish the nature of the difficulty. Please pray that he will be able to “get to the bottom” of this issue quickly and that the water supply will be restored soon.

Cyclone Freddy’s position & predicted path on 7 March

Tropical Cyclone Freddy has already caused serious disruption and some loss of life as it passed over Madagascar and Mozambique.

After heading back to the Indian Ocean, Freddy has again begun to track towards the coast on a path which would take it to Malawi by this coming weekend.

Many families are still affected by last year’s Cyclone Ana. Please pray that the many tens (hundreds?) of thousands of people very vulnerable to serious weather-problems will be spared further hardship. Pray too that these difficulties may be used by the Lord to create increased opportunities for the Gospel.

Anna says: Give thanks for those who came to the first Bible class for secondary students today. This is a group I’ve long been burdened for because they aren’t really covered in any of our other classes, but until now I lacked the confidence in Chichewa.

The Bibletime curriculum is already proving to be a blessing in that regard.

Please pray for God’s word to bear fruit in these lives.

Brother Goodson asks us to pray for his son John (19) who was hospitalised yesterday with a recurrence of the problem he had a few weeks ago.

Health care in Malawi is very poor, so please really pray that John will get good medical attention and that the Lord will put his healing hand upon John.

Please give thanks for the hugely successful 4-day child protection training we did on site at Saidi last week.

This was very enlightening concerning the depth and extent of the problem of child abuse, and extremely informative on ways to address the issues in an African context.

Please pray too that what we have learnt will really inform the way we interract with children, and that it may ultimately result in outreach opportunities in our community.

Stephen will appreciate prayer as he starts the long return journey home from Malawi on Wednesday.

Also pray for the remaining couple of days of his trip, that he will be able to accomplish what he needs to.

Stephen has meetings today with both the architect and a chap whom he hopes will be able to help short out some of our IT challenges in Malawi. In particular, he’s hoping to be able to get the issue of powering the CCTV cameras sorted out once and for all.
