Here’s a 3d impression of how we think the site at Saidi might develop over the next couple of years, Lord willing.

Latest consignment of prison packs. Thanks everyone
Our latest consignment will shortly be on its way. Big thank you to everyone who contributed, even during lockdown.
Making great progress
Goodson says, “Lero tawelukila pamepa” – this is where we got to when we knocked off today.
It’s so encouraging to see the job moving forward. Of course, the next stage will necessarily be slower, but this is a great start.
June 2020 Newsletter
Like everyone else, the work of the Trust has been adversely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, but we are grateful to the Lord that none of the directors or local volunteers have so-far contracted the illness.
A New Motorcycle for Goodson
3 years ago a young Canadian sister’s sacrifice enabled us to purchase a small, Chinese motorcycle for brother Goodson. It was “cheap and cheerful”, but has proved to be an amazing blessing to the work.
Not surprisingly, frequent use on poor dirt roads had begun to take its toll, and despite Goodson’s best efforts to maintain it, the bike has been giving real problems lately, and maintaining it seems like throwing good money after bad.
We were recently contacted by a young brother who expressed his burden to help Goodson with a bigger, stronger and more reliable motorbike, better suited to the conditions on which it’s normally used. His very generous gift has come at a crucial time as we begin our 2020 Gospel calendar distribution, and the newly purchased Honda bike will enable him to reach many areas which would have otherwise been inaccessible to him, and to keep visiting the little assembly in Zomba to which he is so committed.
We praise the Lord for this and pray that the work it has facilitated will be a great blessing to many.
Interested in volunteering your medical / dental / related skills?
Prisoner welfare in Malawi suffers greatly due to resource constraints, with clinics under-funded and under-staffed.
Encouraged by the great response to our annual MGO effort, SALT is considering the possibility of assembling a small team of health practitioners to conduct a series of mobile clinics within some of the prisons that we operate in.
Post-MGO
Irving & Sheryl proceeded to Chitokoloki, Zambia from Malawi and have been visiting with Shawn & Rhonda Markle and family.
They have been visiting some local Christians to give some food relief.
Safe home, guys!
An MGO veteran reflects
This trip to Malawi has been very precious in so many ways. It was a real joy to serve the Lord in a small way with this MGO team in Malawi. What a wonderful opportunity to tell precious souls of the love of our Heavenly Father. We have so much to praise the Lord for.
After reflecting about this trip on our return home, I think the bible verse that seems so fitting is, ‘But, as for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord’ (Joshua 24 v 15). A call, followed by that choice to serve the Lord has been made by individuals who are serving the Lord in various places. Hearing their experiences of how the Lord has provided for every need first hand, has really been so encouraging and the faith they have shown in our Lord has been refreshing. How often do we get dismayed by the day to day activities and forget why we are on this earth and who we are here to serve?
MG (O)ver
Each successive MGO generates its own special memories and MGO 2019 has been no exception.
We’ve had an outstanding team of different, but complementary personalities, all of whom have made a very positive contribution to the overall effectiveness of this outreach.
Many have made significant sacrifices of time, energy and expense to be with us, and we appreciate their efforts enormously.
Most are now home (some after marathon journeys) or enroute like ourselves, and we will all value your prayers for journeying mercies for those who still have some miles to cover, either by road or air.
Remember Anna and Ruthie with a long, bumpy ride back to Sakeji (Zambia) and Irv and Sheryl visiting with the Markles in Chitokoloki.
