It’s almost a year since our extremely useful Trustees workshop at Pitcott Farm, Somerset. We had planned to be together again in Scotland this week. Sadly those plans have had to be temporarily shelved, following sister Janet’s cancer diagnosis. Please join in praying with us for successful surgery later this month, and for a full and quick recovery.
Brother Harold shared this photograph of the group that turned out for the meeting this morning.
It’s so encouraging to see how the regular Sunday Gospel meeting has continued to grow in number following the two-week series during MGO.
As we give thanks for this, Harold asks that we also pray for wisdom to know how best to take the work forward. Pray too for blessing in salvation as the Gospel is preached.
Please remember the deteriorating economic situation in Malawi, illustrated by this plea for help received this morning from a senior prison officer in Malawi.
“Good morning Stephen, I trust the Lord is keeping you well.
“We have a difficult situation at C* Prison and N* Prison. The two prisons have run out food. We have maize in stock at M* Prison Farm but there is no fuel. Therefore, I am requesting if SALT can come in to help. The Officer In-charge for N* Prison personally called me on the need.
With each visit, I am amazed at the on-site progress at Saidi. The Lord has been so good!
Recently, we have been working on a new office and printing room, as well as a maintenance workshop and store. Although it wasn’t possible to get these completed in the run-up to MGO 2022, we were thankful that the immediate priority of running water and a working toilet was accomplished – much to the relief of the visiting ladies, and some of the gentlemen too! We’re praying that both of these important structures will be finished soon.
As the clock runs down on MGO 2022, we reflect upon the Lord’s goodness over the past two weeks.
Here is a selection of photos from the MGO 2022 Photo Gallery.
Please continue to pray for our second week of MGO activities.
Most of the team are heading off to Liwonde National Park today for an overnight mini-safari and well-earned rest. Pray they will have an enjoyable and relaxing time – after a week of mostly blistering sun it has been overcast and damp for the last couple of days.
We are now halfway through MGO 2022. After a 2-year break due to Covid, it has not disappointed us. To God be the glory!
We have been waiting a long time but now the countdown to MGO is T-2 weeks!
Initially we planned to have a series of 5 Children’s Day Camps, but we learned a few weeks ago that the school term has been extended due to earlier Covid disruption. Accordingly, we have adapted the plan to have a two-session Day Camp on the middle Saturday of MGO and do three half-day school visits instead. If you are interested in following our program you can find the daily schedule here.
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 !
