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.
Anna asks us to give thanks for continued freedom to work in public schools.
Visits restarted this week after the holiday break and a good quantity of literature was distributed to pupils.
Anna reports that an older girl from our program with child-headed households has started coming to Bible study without any prompting from us.
She has been one of the tougher ones to connect with.
Please pray for her salvation.
A wonderful Christmas program.
Very many children attended and received a wholesome meal, a gift of some basic necessities (rice, soap, coming oil, etc) as well as hearing a presentation of the Gospel
Give thanks for a safe and enjoyable trip to and from Dzaleka for Anna & Wati
Give thanks for the arrival of rain in time to avoid the maize crop being overstressed – pray that good rains will continue
