We are so thankful for the safe and speedy arrival of a pallet of security equipment we airfreighted out just after Easter.
Pray with us as we endeavour to get this installed as quickly as possible.
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.
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.
From Anna: Give thanks for a successful Bibletime revision session.
Note: Anna & Wati spent the past week in Lilongwe doing further editorial work on the Bible Time translation project. We are excited for the opportunities this promises.
Anna asks that we give thanks for the safe and successful distribution of thousands of pieces of literature throughout the country.
You can read more about the literature work in this post.
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!”
Give thanks with us for the safe arrival and clearance of a large consignment of Gospel Literature.
We hear a lot about Global Supply Chain issues, and we have not been exempt. Nevertheless, we thank God that the Calendars and Tracts are now available for distribution after transit and customs delays.
Anna asks that we give thanks that her two-year Work Permit has finally been approved. This has taken many months, but now makes her stay in Malawi a lot less complicated.
Concerning Student Engagement, Anna Vallance says, “Give thanks for seeing so many students engaged and teachers active in BES (Bible Time).”
Anna and Wati have just spent a week in Lilongwe / Dzaleka reviewing the existing program among Swahili-speaking refugee children and working on translation of the material into Chichewa for wider use around Malawi. This project has huge potential for the Children’s work.
