Preparations for MGO are at an advanced stage and things are starting to become quite busy.
Please remember Anna and the team as they finalise arrangements with 3 schools for the team to visit to present the Gospel and distribute Seed Sower texts & Acts 16:31 exercise books. Also remember the preparations for the Children’s all-day event which will take place on Saturday 20th August, Lord willing.
Here is our itinerary in case you are interested in following & praying for MGO day by day. Like everything in Malawi, it’s subject to change at short notice !
Stephen writes: “It’s now less than a month to MGO 2022. Please pray for all the final preparations that need to be made as MGO approaches:
Acts 28:13 records how after many winds of adversity, at last the south wind blew, speeding Paul and his companions toward their desired destination. Several recent trips to Malawi had their share of difficulty and disappointment (all in the Lord’s purpose). However, I am thankful that, apart from a 24 hour delay in Frankfurt on the outbound journey, everything went smoothly, if a bit slower than I’d hoped (the M-factor!) on my latest trip.
Anna reminds us to pray for MGO 2022, which is now less than 2 months away. Prior to Covid, MGO had become a very significant feature of our annual calendar, and we are really looking forward to resuming this year.
There is still a considerable amount of preparation to be made on site. We plan to have a week of Children’s Outreach & Gospel work at Saidi, as well as our regular MGO activities.
I love Malawi. I’ll take every opportunity to visit Malawi. But I hope I never have to visit again in the circumstances that made this present trip necessary.
As regular readers know, sister Anna recently suffered a very traumatic burglary and assault at her home. The trustees agreed unanimously that Gail and I should travel to Malawi at the earliest opportunity to support her through this crisis. We also felt it appropriate to review and improve the security of our people and property in Malawi in light of what had happened.
After a final flurry of activity this week, MGO 2022 is now fully subscribed. It looks like we are going to have our biggest team ever, with 22 participants signed up, plus our local volunteers, Lord willing.
As in previous years, the team will have an international flavour, with participants from USA, Canada/Mexico, Scotland, England and Northern Ireland.
We expect that MGO may have a slightly different twist this year. For the first time we have our own property on which to run children’s day camps, and it looks like this will feature this August. It will be a great opportunity to bolster the children’s work which Goodson and Anna carry on at Saidi.
Please pray earnestly for the Lord’s blessing. With such a large group there will be much more organisation and logistics involved. So, we ask you to pray for wisdom at this planning stage.
MGO 2022 is now fully subscribed. Applicants after 23 March 2022 will go on a waitlist.

We are excited to announce provisional dates for MGO 2020, which will be from 1st to 15th August (subject to final confirmation).
Irving & Sheryl proceeded to Chitokoloki, Zambia from Malawi and have been visiting with Shawn & Rhonda Markle and family.
They have been visiting some local Christians to give some food relief.
Safe home, guys!
