Brother Emi just sent these photos from Kachoka where around 100 spent the night at the Christian Kintergarten.
We are glad to be able to assist with emergency supplies of food, but the long-term affect upon these families will be enormous. This is one small area – the flooding has affected many areas in the Southern Region.
The Government of Malawi has declared a State of Disaster as 23 people are confirmed dead, with many more missing, and over 100,000 people estimated to have been displaced from their homes.
We have received reports of very severe rainfall and serious flooding in parts of Malawi’s Southern Region.
Brother Emi reports that locals have taken refuge at the Kindergarten he runs at Kachoka as many homes have collapsed due to the adverse weather.
Malawi Prison Service latest recruit
Every picture tells a story. This one says that we had a great visit with the staff at prison HQ.
We were able to explore some very promising opportunities for the future, of which more later, and have arranged a further visit for next week when we will be able to hand over some much-needed learning resources for the prison school at Zomba.
Please continue to pray for this work.
We’ve had a very profitable first day on this trip in Malawi. Not too intense, but we had useful conversations with parties interested in the prison work.
Jim McMaster and Stephen Harper travel to Malawi today for a two-week visit during which they hope to make further progress developing the prison work and other areas of SALT’s ministry.
Of particular importance will be trying to negotiate on land for the planned project to build a centre from which to base SALT’s future operations.
Please pray for safe travel, good health and for a fruitful time in Malawi.
It is now 4 months since SOUTHERN AFRICA LITERATURE TRUST (SALT) was incorporated, and we have been busy making plans for the future of the work which SALT will undertake, Lord willing.
Please pray for the work of SALT.
