It’s always a joy to stop at Dedza Pottery – one of my favourite spots, anywhere – to break the journey between Lilongwe and the south. The air is cool, they do the best Chicken Curry for miles around, and we’ve been enjoying Dedza Delights with great Malawian coffee since first we came to the country. A great watering hole.

This time was particularly special as we met with a group of brothers from Chidewere, some of whom have attended our Bible Teaching conferences, and who have started to gather together for Bible study and prayer.

  • Jim, Harold and Stephen with some of the brothers from Chidewere.

These dear men were anxious to begin functioning as a Scriptural assembly, and over lunch we were able to point out the simple principles upon which the early disciples met together – Receiving the Word, Baptism, the Apostles’ Doctrine, Fellowship, Breaking Bread & Prayers.

It was a real thrill to learn a few days ago that they have since begun to break bread together is accordance with the New Testament pattern.

We spent two days at the Malawi Prison Service Training Centre at Mapanga, considering the important role of chaplaincy in the well-being of prisoners and reduction of reoffending.

Although well-established within the prison culture in the UK, chaplaincy is still in its infancy in Malawi.

It was a privilege to spend a couple of days with key officers within the chaplaincy team, who work with limited resources for the spiritual and physical care of inmates.

Earlier this month we had the opportunity to pay a brief visit to see the ongoing work at Dzaleka.

Jim & I were so grateful that the ongoing unrest in Malawi abated enough to enable us to make a brief visit to see the work of COOM which we have been privileged to support a little during the past few months.

We put the final touches to our latest consignment of Prison Hygiene Packs this afternoon. 7 pallets with 133 cartons (approx 3000 packs) will be picked up tomorrow and taken to the premises of Revival Movement Association to be consolidated with the second part of our literature shipment, and onward to Malawi this weekend.

If you’d be willing to help with this ministry, please get in touch. https://saltrust.org/pack/packing-instructions/

Prisoners receiving Hygiene Packs in Malawi

We wish you all a very Happy Christmas. This is a good time to remember the many who are not blessed with the material things we take for granted.

This dear old lady was just so grateful when I met her a few days ago that she would be getting a roof – we’ve been rebuilding her home since it was destroyed by the cyclone, but in the meantime she has been sleeping on her grass mat within the newly-constructed walls, but under the canopy of heaven.

3 years ago a young Canadian sister’s sacrifice enabled us to purchase a small, Chinese motorcycle for brother Goodson. It was “cheap and cheerful”, but has proved to be an amazing blessing to the work.

Not surprisingly, frequent use on poor dirt roads had begun to take its toll, and despite Goodson’s best efforts to maintain it, the bike has been giving real problems lately, and maintaining it seems like throwing good money after bad.

We were recently contacted by a young brother who expressed his burden to help Goodson with a bigger, stronger and more reliable motorbike, better suited to the conditions on which it’s normally used. His very generous gift has come at a crucial time as we begin our 2020 Gospel calendar distribution, and the newly purchased Honda bike will enable him to reach many areas which would have otherwise been inaccessible to him, and to keep visiting the little assembly in Zomba to which he is so committed.

We praise the Lord for this and pray that the work it has facilitated will be a great blessing to many.
