Anna writes: “Please continue to pray for the approval of my permit (going on a year now) and Harold’s passport. I’m hoping to visit immigration when in Lilongwe this week, but I think ultimately the Lord needs to intervene.”
We are pleased to inform that we have added two venues to our itinerary. You now have four to choose from, so hopefully you will find one near you!
These events should be excellent opportunities to meet key representatives of the Lord’s work in Malawi. We believe you will be encouraged to learn what the Lord has been doing, and better informed as you continue in prayer for us.
Registration is essential to help us with planning. Please click here and choose the venue which suits you.
We are delighted to invite SALT supporters in Northern Ireland to either of our Open Nights, planned for 9th & 10th April in Limavady & Lisburn respectively.
God willing, we are looking forward to Harold Makawa and Anna Vallance joining us from Malawi, as well as some of the other volunteers who work behind the scenes to make possible so many aspects of what SALT does.
This should be a great opportunity to meet the Trustees and hear first-hand updates from some of those working “on-the-ground”. We believe you will be encouraged to learn what the Lord has been doing, and will be enabled to pray more intelligently for the work and workers.
The evening will include:
These events are free to all, however we kindly ask you to help us with planning by registering for the even of your choice.
We are super-excited that the container with the Nthawi ya Baibulo (BibleTime) lessons and other literature is due to arrive in Thondwe today. As you give thanks for this, pray for safe arrival of the other 2 containers which are still en route and pray that the Lord will greatly use these resources for the blessing of many young people in Malawi.
Please remember to pray for various Christmas programs taking place over the next few days.
The children’s and teens’ programs have already taken place on Friday / Saturday past, but there will be another meeting at Saidi on Christmas Day.
These are great opportunities to preach the Gospel and to share a little practical love and encouragement for people going through a very difficult time in Malawi.
Thanks to everyone who has supported us in prayer and through giving during 2024.
Our End of Year Letter is here – we couldn’t have done it without your support – Thank You!
Anna writes: “Please pray for a somewhat timely arrival of containers. One appears to be delayed in Mozambique due to the tensions there.
“Also, please pray for the approval of my work permit, which has been sitting in government for the last nine months.”
Note: We have three containers en route to Malawi – two from UK with large consignments of literature, including the Nthawi ya Baibulo (Bible Time) booklets, and another coming from N.America with a consignment of Classroom packs to support the Nthawi ya Baibulo work.
Anna says: “We are thankful for sustained and growing interest in the children’s/teen Bible classes! There are always new faces and also “the regulars” who never miss a week.”
Anna says: “We are thankful that the translator has finished the final section of Bibletime! Please pray for the revision and design stage to go smoothly.”
Comment: This is a significant milestone, and a cause for much thanksgiving. Not only does it mean that the Bible Time project is nearing completion, but it also frees up Gibson, our principal translator, to focus on other very important translation projects!
It’s hard to believe, but SALT is now six years old!
Although 30 September is our official year-end, SALT was actually incorporated on 21 September 2018 as Stephen & Gail Harper, missionaries to Malawi for over 20 years, were on a short retreat in The Trossachs, Scotland, with Jim & Janet McMaster.
The idea to form SALT was conceived because of the need to strengthen the base of the Gospel Literature ministry in Malawi. The Lord has honoured and blessed that decision in more ways than we could enumerate.
What began as a very modest exercise to distribute a few Gospel Tracts and Calendars now reaches almost every part of the country – and continues to expand.
Our Vision and Values remain unchanged as we seek to Enlighten, Encourage and Empower indigenous believers to fulfil their part in the great commission.
Please take a moment and give thanks with us for all the Lord’s blessing!
