We love when our literature distributors tell us how they appreciate the materials we supply to them.
Anna just shared this letter of thanks which she received from a volunteer in Machinga. He who works to bring the Gospel to Muslim youth. We have edited it very slightly to make it a little more readable.
Brother Stephen asks that we join in giving thanks for journeying mercies and a safe and uneventful arrival in Malawi on Friday morning.
He aims to spend the next three weeks encouraging the workers there, reviewing SALT’s various programs, and making plans for the months ahead, in the Lord’s will.
Anna reminds us to keep praying for the literature being distributed throughout the country.
He has promised His word will not return void!
Note: We recently took delivery of around 2,600,000 items of Gospel literature. We are prioritising distribution of the 2022 Gospel calendars. We thank the Lord the work is going well so far.
Anna asks that we pray for accuracy and efficiency in the continued translation and revision of BES Bible Time lessons.
Note: Anna and Wati have a rolling program of translation meetings each month. Some of these are local, but others involve travel to Lilongwe (700Km round trip). It’s hoped to have at least one year’s curriculum ready for printing in the coming months.
Brother Goodson requests continued prayer for the practical and spiritual work at Saidi.
Note: Goodson has a very busy schedule, overseeing construction of a house for Anna as well as the project on the site itself. He is also heavily involved in the children’s work and an adults’ Bible study, as well as the ongoing literature distribution effort.
Anna updates on the recovery of two men injured when knocked off a motorcycle in a hit and run accident near the site.
“It’s easy to post prayer requests and forget to then share how God has answered, so I just wanted to follow up on the men who I took to the hospital.
Yesterday one of them stopped by the site. He was the more banged up of the two and completely incoherent.
I’m happy to report, though, that he has healed well. I was worried about a closed head injury, but he seemed back to normal apart from a few scars.
He said the other one is fine, as well.
So, thank you for praying, and please continue to pray for their salvation!”
As “L” is at the heart of “SALT” so Gospel Literature Ministry is at the heart of what SALT does in Malawi.
By the grace of God, over the past 10 years we have been able to publish and distribute around 14 Million items of Gospel Literature across the length and breadth of the country.
During a recent visit, we met with the women participating in the skills training project at Dzaleka Refugee Camp to better understand how the project is progressing and the impact they feel it will have in their lives. We met with 26 women who are participating in the project which is training them in tailoring, knitting and batik crafts to help generate employment and alleviate poverty. Some of the women are widows and others are young mothers. In addition to the women staying at the camp, there are also two Malawian women benefitting from the project. Overall, the participants are very engaged, and they shared positive feedback and expressed gratitude about being involved in it.Â
We are so thankful for the arrival and discharge of a large consignment of Gospel Literature – 1,000,000 Gospel Calendars and 1,5000,000 Gospel Tracts. A large portion of the Gospel Tracts are brand new designs for Malawi.
Now the real work begins with bulk distribution by commercial courier to our various Regional Storage Depots in Nsanje (seriously affected by Tropical Storm Ana), Mulanje, Lilongwe, Kasungu & Mzuzu, as well as our main hub at Saidi, Thondwe.
Please pray for our 2022 Calendar distribution which is finally underway. Malawi continues to experience extreme weather conditions. Many roads have become un-passable, some have been completely washed away.
Please pray for Brother Harold and Brother Goodson as they continue to supply our network of volunteer distributors, and for these faithful brothers and sisters who will speed the literature on its way to distant communities. The weather conditions make this large task even more difficult.
