The local planning officer from the DCs office has requested a meeting at the Saidi site today.

Please pray that this won’t last to any unnecessary difficulty complying with planning requirements.

Update

The meeting was uneventful and no undue burdens were placed in the development work.

It’s a real cause for thanksgiving that the reconditioned Brake Master Cylinder we brought for the Land Cruiser send to have resolved its braking problem. There are a few other ongoing issues with the car, as to be expected with such an old vehicle, but this gives us some heart that it’s worth continuing to work on it.

Also very glad to report that the Adblue problem with the Mitsubishi truck send to have been resolved. Thanks for praying.

Regrettably there is not much progress with the Isuzu which is still of the road with engine problems. The mechanic working in it has given lots of excuses, and we frankly don’t know what to believe. He has requested another week or so to resolve it, but if has been going on for many months already, so this doesn’t instill a lot of confidence. Please pray.

Brother Stephen (Harper) flies to Malawi from Dublin on 11th November, Brother Bill (Williams) from Washington on 14th, and Brother Jim (McMaster) from Newcastle on 17th.

Please pray that each with enjoy safe and hassle-free travel and that their time in Malawi will be profitable.

Update:

Bro Jim had to cancel his visit due to Covid-related issues at home

Pray for safe and speedy arrival of a large consignment of (1,000,000) 2022 Gospel Calendars and (2,600,000) Gospel Tracts recently sent from N. Ireland.

Ideally, we would have liked the calendars to have been sent a bit earlier than this, but some aspects of the production process proved more time-consuming than anticipated.

Give thanks for good relationships between co-workers who really complement and help each other.

That’s true of the relatively new team in Malawi, and it’s certainly true that the trustees in UK have great rapport.

Pray for preparations for our Open Day at Saidi on 20 November. We expect up to 500 people from the community may attend.

We plan to have contributions from the young people who attend the various Bible study groups, a traditional meal together, and one or two Gospel presentations

Please pray for a resolution to problems involving both our Toyota Landcruiser and Isuzu Pickup:

  • Stephen has sourced a reconditioned Brake Master Cylinder & Brake Booster which he plans to take to Malawi in November. Pray that it will arrive safely & that it will solve the braking issue
  • The Isuzu is still off the road having undergone an engine overhaul. The mechanic is very unresponsive to requests for an update.
