According to Forbes the world’s wealthiest just got richer to the tune of $5 Trillion, with a new billionaire being created every 17 hours, on average, during the pandemic.
Brother Stephen has just returned from a most encouraging visit to Malawi – his first since February 2020. The main reasons for this trip were (1) to help Anna (Vallance) get settled into her new home and environment, (2) to “eyeball” the project site at Saidi for the first time (Bros. Harold & Goodson had been our eyes and ears through the entire process of buying the land), and (3) to meet and encourage many of SALT’s partners in the work in Malawi. With the gracious help of the Lord, Stephen was able to accomplish what he set out to do.
The Lord knows how to keep us grounded.
Although the Trustees would have loved to have been present in Malawi to oversee the start of the development of the site at Saidi, that has not been possible due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
As we go to press on half a million 2020 Gospel Calendars, we express our thanks to Brian Chalmers for his help with the artwork this year.
Gospel Literature production remains SALT’s primary focus.
We have just completed reformatting the next two Bible courses for use in Malawian prisons – there are now 6 courses available in the new format, complete with all the Bible references necessary to enable a prisoner to complete the study even if s/he has no access to a Bible.
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.
