We give thanks to the Lord for a fruitful and encouraging time of gospel ministry in Malawi.

  • We all enjoyed safe, although tiring, travel. Participants came from three continents, with the longest journey being from Adelaide, Australia.
  • Strong team relationships developed throughout the programme, creating a spirit of unity and mutual encouragement.
  • Many participants described the outreach as a genuinely life-changing experience. We we look to the Lord for lasting impact on their lives.
  • Anna’s generous hospitality helped make the programme a great blessing to everyone involved.
  • Gospel literature reached numerous villages, while open-air preaching in three trading centres provided further opportunities to share the message of salvation.
  • Many people came to the gospel meetings at Saidi. The messages shared by the visiting brothers was greatly appreciated. Some took the opportunity to speak publicly for the first time.
  • Three days of children’s outreach attracted around 250 to 270 children. They listened attentively to gospel-centred lessons based on events from the life of David. We limited attendance to those who come to the regular children’s work – so please pray that this will incentivise others to attend regularly.
  • Despite adverse weather causing one planned visit to be cancelled, two prison visits took place. Between 800 and 1,000 men listened attentively as the gospel was preached.

May the Lord continue to bless all who heard His Word and bring lasting spiritual fruit from these opportunities.

We give thanks to the Lord for His help and blessing during a very encouraging first week of MGO.

Please join us in thanking God for:

  • Safe travel for all participants. Everyone arrived without incident, and all luggage, including essential supplies for the childrenโ€™s activities, reached its destination safely.
  • Excellent team spirit. The team has settled well and is working together in unity and fellowship.
  • Open-air outreach and literature distribution. Two busy markets have been visited for gospel preaching, with Seed Sower texts and invitations distributed widely. Thousands of people have heard or received the Gospel message.
  • Gospel meetings. Afternoon meetings throughout the week have been well attended, with returning regulars and some new visitors, likely as a result of the invitations distributed. The Lord has given much help in both preaching and translation, and it has been especially encouraging to see all the brethren taking part.
  • The Childrenโ€™s Day Camp. Around 250 children attended. The messages, centred on the life of David, were well received, and there were many opportunities to engage with the children through crafts and games. The positive impact of these activities on children who have very little cannot be overstated.

Prayer Requests

While giving thanks, please also continue to pray:

  • For children who were unable to attend the camp because village initiation camps were taking place at the same time. Pray that Malawian children will be preserved from the harmful influences associated with many traditional rites and ceremonies.
  • For the visiting team members as they enjoy a brief period of rest at Liwonde National Park. Pray that they will be refreshed and encouraged as they enjoy the beauty and wonder of Godโ€™s creation.
  • For the Lordโ€™s continued blessing on the outreach in the coming days through:
    • Prison visits in Mulanje and Zomba
    • Market open-air preaching
    • Literature distribution
  • For safe travel as the team begins the return journey on Saturday, God willing.

May the Lord continue to work in hearts and bless the faithful sowing of His Word.

Malawi Gospel Outreach (MGO) begins in just one week’s time, and preparations are now entering their final stages. Essential purchases are being completed, resources are being packed, and plans are being finalized for the team which will soon travel to Malawi.

Participants will begin their journeys on Thursday, with the full team expected to be in place by next Monday, ready to start the outreach programme. Activities during MGO will include a week of Gospel meetings, three days of children’s Bible Club, prison visits, and open-air outreach in local communities.

Please pray:

  • For wisdom and efficiency as the final preparations are completed.
  • For all remaining purchases and logistics to come together smoothly.
  • For safe and trouble-free travel for every participant.
  • For good health, strength, and protection for the team.
  • For unity among team members as they prepare to serve together.
  • For blessing on the Gospel meetings, Bible Clubs, prison visits, and open-air outreach.
  • For open hearts and that many people will hear and respond to the message of the Gospel during the outreach.

We are grateful for your prayers and support as we look forward to what the Lord will do through MGO in the days ahead.

Pray

Today marks exactly three weeks until Malawi Gospel Outreach (MGO) 2026 begins. From 31 July to 15 August, believers from many assemblies will gather in Malawi for a focused period of gospel outreach and Christian service. Activities will include children’s work, literature distribution, prison ministry, and evangelism.

As the start date approaches, preparations continue at a steady pace. Team members are finalising travel plans. Organisers are completing logistical arrangements. At the same time, we want to prepare our hearts for the work ahead.

More than anything, we need the Lord’s help and blessing. We therefore ask God’s people to remember Malawi Gospel Outreach 2026 in prayer.

Please Pray For

Spiritual Readiness

Pray that each team member will spend time with the Lord before departure. Ask God to create unity, humility, and dependence on Him throughout the outreach.

Safe Travel

Pray for smooth journeys and good health. Please ask the Lord to protect every participant as they travel to and from Malawi.

Wisdom for the Team

Many details still require attention. Pray for wisdom as leaders make final decisions and coordinate the outreach programme.

Open Doors for the Gospel

Ask the Lord to create opportunities to share His Word. Pray for receptive hearts in schools, communities, prisons, and public places.

Lasting Fruit

Pray that many people will hear the gospel clearly. Ask God to save souls, strengthen believers, and encourage local assemblies through this outreach.

Thank You for Praying

We deeply appreciate your prayers and support. As Malawi Gospel Outreach 2026 draws near, our desire remains simple. We want to honour Christ, proclaim His Word, and serve His people.

Who said there was no MGO 2024? Last month, brothers from the Saidi assembly visited nearby markets for open-air preaching and distributed Seedsower texts – it’s exciting to see local brothers taking initiative! Here are some pictures:

Harold explains why he’s so enthusiastic about MGO – it has opened so many doors

Transcript

2023 MGO was just like any other MGO – special in such a way that MGOโ€™s are always different but this time we think of the MGO that was with the few people that participated and we were just thinking of how I was going to try and do what we have been doing in the past with the the few of us

But like Gideon we were able to see that the Lord is not very much interested in the numbers but the commitment and the trust that we have in him

He is able to do [the same that] he can do with many people with a few people

And so 2023 MGO was such a great encouragement to to me because we saw the Lord did a lot through a few people who were committed to do the job

I was encouraged with the order we have seen especially when it came to the kids the Children’s Day there was good order and it was such an encouragement to see lots of children sitting under the Word of God and listening attentively

I think the Lord gave much help and so I was really encouraged to see that many children

MGO is a vehicle which has opened so many doors when it comes to service to the Lord we just pray that the Lord will continue to not just open these doors but we take time to fully utilize those doors

There are school programs that have been opened because of MGO

There are hospital visits and time of gospel in the hospitals that was opened because of MGO also prisons such an important place to be to preach the gospel to prisoners

The Lord through MGO has been able to open so many doors

And we pray that the Lord will help us to fully take advantage of spreading the gospel strategically in these places

Please pray for our second week of MGO 2023.

Most of the team are leaving today (Monday) for an overnight visit to the National Park at Liwonde. Pray that they have an enjoyable time, and a well-deserved rest.

Activities for the remainder of the week, after the team returns tomorrow include: further open-air work and Seed Sower distribution, Bible Study at Saidi (Wednesday) and a second prison visit on Thursday.

Please continue to pray for safety, stamina and good health for the entire team. Especially pray that as we have planted and watered the seed that the Lord will give the increase.

We praise the Lord for His faithfulness and help during the first week of MGO 2023.

Although much smaller than most previous years, the team still managed to distribute several thousands of Seed Sower texts, and many people listened to the Gospel preached in the open air meetings.

As in former years, the prison visit on Wednesday, and the Children’s Day on Saturday were outstanding highlights.

We arrived at M* prison to the news that they had several suspected Cholera cases. A team from Headquarters was on site to assess the situation and to advise on preventative measures, so our gift of a hygiene pack for each man was particularly timely, and exceedingly welcome. Almost the entire prison complement returned from their work in the fields to listen to the Gospel being preached.

On Saturday, around 300 children were present to listen to the Gospel presentation and to enjoy the activities and games laid on for them. It is humbling to think how little it takes to brighten the lives of these most impoverished children. Pray for them.
