We give thanks for the printing of around 3,000 Emmaus Lesson and Test Booklets in Malawi.

We are especially grateful to Tom and Debbie Turnbull, who volunteered two weeks of their time to assist with the printing work. Their practical support has made a significant difference to the Emmaus ministry.

Please join us in thanking God for:

  • The successful printing of around 3,000 Lesson and Test Booklets.
  • The opportunity to print materials in-house, which can reduce costs by up to 50% and help make the best use of limited resources.
  • Gail’s help with collating booklets after completing Emmaus lesson grading.
  • The ability to scale up the Emmaus work despite operating on a tight budget.
  • The safe return home of Tom and Debbie, even after their flight from Blantyre was cancelled because of bad weather.
  • Tom and Debbie’s willingness to continue helping with this work several times each year.

We also thank God for the progress made and pray for wisdom as we address a few ongoing challenges:

  • Finding suitable binding solutions for larger booklets of more than 100 pages.
  • Strengthening backup power arrangements during the wet season, as cloudy weather reduced solar electricity generation toward the end of the printing period.
  • Additional volunteers who may be able to assist with future printing work.

May these printed booklets continue to help many people engage with God’s Word through the Emmaus ministry.

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.

Please pray for the launch of Emmaus Malawi this coming week, God willing, in the area surrounding Saidi as well as to a few key distributors. Pray these courses will make many wise unto salvation and build a Scriptural foundation in the hearts of those who already know Christ.

Please pray for the growth and preservation of the believers in the assembly.
