The February 2023 edition of SALTbites has just been published. You can view / download your copy below.
Stephen asks us to pray for his scheduled trip to Malawi, this week. He will spend Tuesday night in Dublin and depart for Malawi on Wednesday morning, and expects to arrive in Blantyre around 1pm on Thursday.
Anna says: It has been so exciting to see how the Lord has been moving things along with the Bibletime curriculum. Please give thanks with us that the work of printing the first Chichewa lessons is already underway.
Wati says: Please pray about the continuing increase of Cholera-related deaths in Malawi.
Please pray that the health authorities would be able to bring the outbreak under control, and that the Lord’s people would be kept safe and well.
Wati says: “We can thank God for journeying mercies for Harold and Goodson as they travelled over the past two weeks meeting with distributors and giving out literature. The roads are already dangerous and can be particularly so in the rainy season.
A little over a year ago, I wrote an article about the translation and revision of the Bibletime curriculum. As of this week, we are now ready for the third step: publication!
It seems like it has been a long time coming. However, our translator really has done a fabulous job powering through eight student booklets. And four text-heavy teacher guides! It truly is a blessing to have a translator who is just as committed to this project as we are. Gibson is a believer, and he understands the importance of clearly communicating truth.
The information application page for MGO 2023 has recently gone live. Although MGO is still 6 months away, we know from experience this goes in very quickly.
Stephen says: “Please pray for a week of Safeguarding training planned for later this month. Many children in Malawi are subject to horrendous abuse. It’s essential that SALT not only supports children who are, or could be victims, but that we ensure that they are completely safe when in our care.
Anna writes: Please pray for the timely printing of the Bibletime curriculum and for help as we seek to pilot and continue revising it in the coming year.
The most important thing, of course, is that God would use it to make the many children we work with “wise unto salvation.”
We are very happy to announce that MGO 2023 will be from 7 – 16 August 2023, God willing.
Space is limited and interest high – so we recommend you sign up as soon as possible.
