We are glad to report that Angel is recovering following her recent car accident and surgery.

We were glad that she was able to get good care at a private hospital in Blantyre, although her planned surgery was seriously delayed on the day.

Angel returned to work at the beginning of the week, but she will value your prayers for a quick and full recovery.

Also remember Anna who is spending a short time with her friend Lois in Cyprus after attending the BES conference in N.Ireland.

Tomorrow Anna leaves for the Bible Educational Services (BES) conference taking place in Northern Ireland. DV. Please remember her in prayer.

The conference aims to provide attendees from all over the world with the opportunity to interact, build connections and acquire useful knowledge about training methods, safeguarding laws, and advancements in the field of children’s work.

Please pray for Angel, our admin / accounts assistant who has sustained a displaced fracture of her humerus in a road accident on Sunday.

Treatment options at the local government hospital are limited, so we are investigating the possibility of her being treated more quickly and to a better standard at the private Adventist hospital in Blantyre.

Edward reports on an impending crisis which threatens the existence of the Street Kids feeding centre in Lilongwe.

SALT gives regular financial support, but does not actively run the feeding centre in Lilongwe. They do an amazing work feeding street kids and other very vulnerable people who would otherwise starve.

Please remember this situation in prayer.

Greetings to all of you friends and partners of Divine Touch Youth Foundation in Malawi, where we feed the children – those that are street kids, the mammas that goes around in town begging and those that are vulnerable. So our main aim is that we always do this in order to show them the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So, we got this is an opportunity that as we are feeding them, we should also be preaching the Word of God to them. Mchesi has been an area where a lot of prostitution drug addicts and a lot of alcoholism has been taking place.

I would like to appreciate the kind gesture that SALT has been doing. SALT has been blessing us  a lot, have been sending us funds that have been helping us in many ways to keep this running. So, we’d like to thank you all the members of SALT, wherever you are it’s been a privilege that we have you as partners as friends

We just have finished the feeding – all these few people you can see them around means that you are finishing the feeding

We have got a need this year. We’ve got a challenge. We always have got corn but as I’m talking right now, the corn that we had last year is the one that we are finishing this month, that will mean we will not have any corn any more.

So looking at how much corn we normally use five hundred bags and that caters for the whole year and those who normally purchase them for us they told us that they have been having difficulties to have funds that they can be able to buy corn as well as beans that can cater for the whole year

So we are saying this so that you can take note of and you can be praying for us because we know that if we don’t have corn this year, then that will mean that the feeding center needs to be shut off, and that will mean that all the people we’ve been helping and feeding and people have been preaching to they will never have any chance to come and get food here.

But that will mean that they will starve because whatever meal they get here whether once a day, it helps them. It sustains them.

God bless you.

Take note that we always appreciate. Thank you so much. We wish you all the best. Thank you for.

Please remember Brother Stephen and his family as he will be travelling to Malawi on Tuesday to visit the team there.

Unfortunately, Stephen’s father in law has been in hospital for the past week so he is sadly leaving his wife, Gail, with the burden of daily hospital runs, and the burden of supporting her mum and dad through this difficult time.

Please pray for journeying mercies and that Stephen’s trip will be a help and blessing. Please also pray for Gail and family as they make important decisions regarding her dad’s future care needs.

Sad to say, our consignment of Gospel Literature for Malawi is still delayed in Mauritius. In total, there are around 1.75 million items in transit, including (now overdue) Gospel Calendars and Tracts.

The consignment also includes several thousand prison hygiene packs.

According to the revised shipping schedule, the container is due to be moved early March – pray that there will be no further delays.

Container ships

Please pray for our latest shipment of Gospel Tracts and Calendars has been delayed in transit.

Although the shipping agent told us on 16 Jan that it was due to arrive in a couple of days, it now turns out that the container has been stuck in Reunion / Mauritius since 28 Dec, with no ETA in Malawi.

This is a disappointment as we are eager to start using the contents as soon as possible.

Please pray that the container will soon be loaded on a ship for onward transit

The team would appreciate your prayers for the various children’s programs that will take place over the Christmas period. Hundreds of children will be fed and have opportunity to hear the Gospel at the events at Dzaleka Refugee Camp, the street kids’ feeding centre in Lilongwe, and at the SALT campus at Saidi.

These are wonderful opportunities to demonstrate the grace of God in practical ways. Pray that the kindness of the Christians, and the Word of God preached, would bear fruit in many young lives.
