Give thanks with us for some progress towards resolving our long-standing vehicle troubles.

We were recently given a gift an Isuzu Double Cab Pick-up truck, almost identical to the one which has been in the repair shop for over three years. The gifted vehicle is 20 years old but had been laid up for the last 5 years. Rodents had done a lot of damage to the electrical wiring, but it was otherwise very well maintained. We give thanks that Joel has been able to repair this damage. He’s also given the clutch and brakes an overhaul and reports that the car is working well. This has involved yet further spending on vehicle maintenance, but we are very hopeful that we will have a good, working vehicle.

We are thankful that the Land Cruiser has proved fairly reliable for Stephen & Gail’s trip, with only some relatively minor electrical problems to deal with. After successive mechanical problems with the car, this is a real blessing, especially as they have travelled almost 2000Km already on this trip.

On Friday morning it passed a major milestone when the odometer clocked half a million (hard!!) kilometers.

Just passed half a million, but we blinked and missed it!
The Land Cruiser has given a lot of trouble recently

Although Stephen & Jim have been frustrated not to be able to travel as they had planned, nevertheless they have witnessed the Lord’s over-ruling hand.

On Saturday afternoon they had a “chance meeting” with a Christian Malawian couple at the B&B where they are staying. In conversation it became clear that they are able and willing to help with several practical aspects of the work we are engaged in, and we thank the Lord for the opportunity to meet them. It’s amazing to see how the Lord often brings some blessing out of our frustrations.

Brother Stephen asks that we join in giving thanks for journeying mercies and a safe and uneventful arrival in Malawi on Friday morning.

He aims to spend the next three weeks encouraging the workers there, reviewing SALT’s various programs, and making plans for the months ahead, in the Lord’s will.

Anna updates on the recovery of two men injured when knocked off a motorcycle in a hit and run accident near the site.

“It’s easy to post prayer requests and forget to then share how God has answered, so I just wanted to follow up on the men who I took to the hospital.

Yesterday one of them stopped by the site. He was the more banged up of the two and completely incoherent.

I’m happy to report, though, that he has healed well. I was worried about a closed head injury, but he seemed back to normal apart from a few scars.

He said the other one is fine, as well.

So, thank you for praying, and please continue to pray for their salvation!”
