Please continue to pray for our second week of MGO activities.
Most of the team are heading off to Liwonde National Park today for an overnight mini-safari and well-earned rest. Pray they will have an enjoyable and relaxing time – after a week of mostly blistering sun it has been overcast and damp for the last couple of days.
Please pray for the Lord’s preservation and blessing upon our time of Gospel Outreach which gets underway today (Monday).
Specific points for prayer:
After much anticipation, MGO is almost upon us. The team will be assembling in Malawi over the course of the next week.
Please pray for:
Anna writes: “Pray that we will see the Lord’s saving power at work in the many different groups we work with: children, Bible study group, orphans, employees and students.”
Preparations for MGO are at an advanced stage and things are starting to become quite busy.
Please remember Anna and the team as they finalise arrangements with 3 schools for the team to visit to present the Gospel and distribute Seed Sower texts & Acts 16:31 exercise books. Also remember the preparations for the Children’s all-day event which will take place on Saturday 20th August, Lord willing.
Stephen writes: “It’s now less than a month to MGO 2022. Please pray for all the final preparations that need to be made as MGO approaches:
Anna write: “Please pray that we would see the Lord using the seed that has been sown, the different relationships that have been formed and even the practical demonstrations of His love to draw many to Himself for salvation.
“I’m thinking specifically of MGO, but, of course, we long for Him to work in salvation at all times.”
Although there is much reason for thanksgiving, especially concerning the commencement of a regular Gospel meeting at Saidi, the numerical increase in the adult and Children’s Bible studies, and the recent re-roofing of the Msasa, there is also much need for prayer.
Please particularly pray for the physical preservation of the work and workers, each of whom are vulnerable in different ways, and especially that a spirit of unity, harmony, common purpose and mutual respect will be maintained.
Brother Harold asks for special, urgent prayer for his sister, Sue (55), for whom he requested prayer before.
Sue is presently in hospital in Blantyre and receiving oxygen. She has multiple problems with organ function (heart, lungs & kidney). The local health care is very basic. Harold has been helping buy additional private care for Sue, but this has been on limited help. As Harold says, “she can only survive this with a real miracle.”
The situation is complicated by the fact that Sue is the family member who cares for Harold’s elderly mother, who is in her nineties. Village life is tough, even for healthy people.
By the grace of God, apart from the missed connection on the outbound journey, Stephen’s latest visit to Malawi has been without further incident. Please pray for the rest of his visit, and for travelling mercies as he begins the journey home on Wednesday.
