We give thanks to the Lord for His help and blessing during a very encouraging first week of MGO.
Please join us in thanking God for:
- Safe travel for all participants. Everyone arrived without incident, and all luggage, including essential supplies for the children’s activities, reached its destination safely.
- Excellent team spirit. The team has settled well and is working together in unity and fellowship.
- Open-air outreach and literature distribution. Two busy markets have been visited for gospel preaching, with Seed Sower texts and invitations distributed widely. Thousands of people have heard or received the Gospel message.
- Gospel meetings. Afternoon meetings throughout the week have been well attended, with returning regulars and some new visitors, likely as a result of the invitations distributed. The Lord has given much help in both preaching and translation, and it has been especially encouraging to see all the brethren taking part.
- The Children’s Day Camp. Around 250 children attended. The messages, centred on the life of David, were well received, and there were many opportunities to engage with the children through crafts and games. The positive impact of these activities on children who have very little cannot be overstated.
Prayer Requests
While giving thanks, please also continue to pray:
- For children who were unable to attend the camp because village initiation camps were taking place at the same time. Pray that Malawian children will be preserved from the harmful influences associated with many traditional rites and ceremonies.
- For the visiting team members as they enjoy a brief period of rest at Liwonde National Park. Pray that they will be refreshed and encouraged as they enjoy the beauty and wonder of God’s creation.
- For the Lord’s continued blessing on the outreach in the coming days through:
- Prison visits in Mulanje and Zomba
- Market open-air preaching
- Literature distribution
- For safe travel as the team begins the return journey on Saturday, God willing.
May the Lord continue to work in hearts and bless the faithful sowing of His Word.
