In our April 2019 and March 2019 news we reported on our visit to Malawi in February and the well-publicised serious weather-related crisis that befell the region recently. This month we want to update you on some of those issues and give you some matters for thanksgiving and prayer.
It’s only 8 months since we took delivery of 1,000,000 Gospel tracts.
What a thrill to receive this message earlier today…
In our March 2019 News Update we reported on our recent visit to Malawi, and the progress made in developing the Prison work there. We also mentioned briefly the mechanical issues with Stephen’s truck, and the negotiations to purchase a development site near Thondwe – more later.
“This is shaping up to be one of the worst weather-related disasters ever to hit the southern hemisphere,”

Please continue to pray for the people of Malawi and the huge numbers affected in Zimbabwe and Mozambique.
We are grateful to all who have responded practically to the immediate need following the flooding in Southern Malawi.
Obviously, we can only make a small contribution to the relief effort, but we trust that, with your help, it will be a meaningful one.

Brother Emi just sent these photos from Kachoka where around 100 spent the night at the Christian Kintergarten.
We are glad to be able to assist with emergency supplies of food, but the long-term affect upon these families will be enormous. This is one small area – the flooding has affected many areas in the Southern Region.
The Government of Malawi has declared a State of Disaster as 23 people are confirmed dead, with many more missing, and over 100,000 people estimated to have been displaced from their homes.
We have received reports of very severe rainfall and serious flooding in parts of Malawi’s Southern Region.
Brother Emi reports that locals have taken refuge at the Kindergarten he runs at Kachoka as many homes have collapsed due to the adverse weather.
