Bibletime Update – Printing Time!

A little over a year ago, I wrote an article about the translation and revision of the Bibletime curriculum. As of this week, we are now ready for the third step: publication!

It seems like it has been a long time coming. However, our translator really has done a fabulous job powering through eight student booklets. And four text-heavy teacher guides! It truly is a blessing to have a translator who is just as committed to this project as we are. Gibson is a believer, and he understands the importance of clearly communicating truth.

Pray: Gospel Calendars update

Please continue to pray for the progress and arrival of the shipment of Gospel Calendars sent recently. This is now expected to land in Beira (Mozambique) on 13 December. Arrival in Malawi is likely to take at least a further 4 weeks.

We have been considering printing part of the expected shortfall of calendars in Malawi, but prices have more than doubled since we last printed there. We expect considerable outlay for printing Nthawi ya Baibulo in the New Year, Lord willing, so please pray that we will have wisdom in the prioritisation decisions we have to make.

We are delighted to update you on progress with our plans to ship Prison & Pupil packs from N America.

During his recent visit to Ontario, Stephen was able to revive earlier discussions with ACCTS which had stalled due to the pandemic.

We want to say Thank You to Naomi Steele who recently took the initiative and arranged a coffee morning in support of the work in Malawi.

Although they were too shy to appear on camera, several dozen local Christian ladies came to enjoy Naomi’s fantastic hospitality.

Latest from the Children’s Work at Saidi

We are really encouraged to see the increasing interest at the children’s work at Saidi.

Since the MGO day camp in August, the number of children and youth attending has been continued to increase. They now meet as three separate age groups. As you can see from the photos below, one group meets in the msasa (thatch gazebo), while another smaller group meets under a smaller gazebo.The remaining group is meeting in the block-making shed (you can just see the mound of gravel) for lack of space elsewhere.

Report Meetings

Brother Stephen was greatly encouraged by his recent visit to Ontario for report meetings. Apart from the warm hospitality, it was a real blessing to see the enthusiasm with which the Lord’s people received the updates from Malawi and committed to pray for the growing work there.

Stephen hopes to be with the assembly at Manvers Hall, Bath on Saturday 10th December for an evening intended to encourage younger Christians to become more involved in missionary work. Please pray for this important meeting – the value of missionary endeavour is being eroded in the classroom as our children are being indoctrinated at school with the idea that “interfering” in other cultures is an evil thing.

As previously mentioned, we weren’t able to have this weeks’ annual trustees’ workshop as planned. However, some of us met together for a couple of days earlier this week to discuss some of the topics which had been on our agenda.
