Stephen will appreciate prayer as he starts the long return journey home from Malawi on Wednesday.
Also pray for the remaining couple of days of his trip, that he will be able to accomplish what he needs to.
Stephen has meetings today with both the architect and a chap whom he hopes will be able to help short out some of our IT challenges in Malawi. In particular, he’s hoping to be able to get the issue of powering the CCTV cameras sorted out once and for all.

Please pray for the five groups including us who will be using the curriculum, for help to get comfortable and use it prayerfully to ground children in the truth of the gospel.
Note: This is a very significant moment for the team who have been involved in the painstaking work of translation for well over a year now. This is Year 1 of 3. The experience gained from this should enable the process to go more smoothly in the future as the next two years’ material is translated.
Stephen asks us to pray for his scheduled trip to Malawi, this week. He will spend Tuesday night in Dublin and depart for Malawi on Wednesday morning, and expects to arrive in Blantyre around 1pm on Thursday.
Anna says: It has been so exciting to see how the Lord has been moving things along with the Bibletime curriculum. Please give thanks with us that the work of printing the first Chichewa lessons is already underway.
Wati says: Please pray about the continuing increase of Cholera-related deaths in Malawi.
Please pray that the health authorities would be able to bring the outbreak under control, and that the Lord’s people would be kept safe and well.
Wati says: “We can thank God for journeying mercies for Harold and Goodson as they travelled over the past two weeks meeting with distributors and giving out literature. The roads are already dangerous and can be particularly so in the rainy season.
The information application page for MGO 2023 has recently gone live. Although MGO is still 6 months away, we know from experience this goes in very quickly.
Stephen says: “Please pray for a week of Safeguarding training planned for later this month. Many children in Malawi are subject to horrendous abuse. It’s essential that SALT not only supports children who are, or could be victims, but that we ensure that they are completely safe when in our care.
Anna writes: Please pray for the timely printing of the Bibletime curriculum and for help as we seek to pilot and continue revising it in the coming year.
The most important thing, of course, is that God would use it to make the many children we work with “wise unto salvation.”
Please continue praying for the Lord to use His word to bring many to a saving knowledge of the truth.
In particular, pray for the local believers who are using this material to spread the gospel, that they would know the joy and help of the Lord as they serve Him in this way.
