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:

  • Scheduling of outreach events
  • Printing of Seed Sower texts / meeting invitations
  • Accommodation
  • Vehicle Hire
  • Preparation of lessons & materials for children’s work
  • Preparation for Gospel meetings
  • Finishing necessary infrastructure (particularly kitchen / toilets) at the Saidi site.

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.

Stephen writes: This past week it’s been a real blessing for me to travel again with Harold as we did so often in years past. It’s been a joy to speak of the Lord, His Word and His Work as the miles rolled by.

Although Harold is always very discreet when speaking about his (frequent) problems and challenges, it’s evident from conversations over the past few days that the care of his extended family is a real strain on him.

On the first morning of Harold & Stephen’s trip to Lilongwe, Harold awoke to the news that thieves had broken into the storeroom at his home. They stole 70 Bibles just brought from Lilongwe the week before, as well as other “katundu” (personal stuff) belonging to the family. On the same night they made a further (unsuccessful) attempt to break into the new home he is trying to finish about 1KM away.
