Stephen & Jim will appreciate your prayers regarding their imminent visit to Malawi. Stephen is due to depart on Thursday 24th Feb, and Jim on Friday 4th March.

Please pray:

  1. That both Stephen & Jim remain Covid-free prior to and during their trip to avoid and complications with their travel plans
  2. For travelling mercies in the air and on roads made more dangerous by recent extreme weather.
  3. For wisdom as they plan future development of the site at Saidi, the response to the damage caused by Storm Ana, and SALT’s ongoing Gospel outreach efforts.

Wati asks us to remember the increasing hardship at Dzaleka Refugee Camp. During their visit last week, she and Anna learned that 680 families have recently had their meagre monthly food ration removed completely as official agencies no longer have sufficient funds to help them. The remainder have to survive on just a few $ per month.

As refugees, these people have no access to land to grow their own food, and have no legal right to work, making their situation very serious indeed.  Please pray for those sharing the Gospel among the 50,000 occupants of the camp.

After a long delay due to transit and customs clearance issues, we are very hopeful that our 2022 Calendar distribution will get underway this week.

Harold and Goodson have been receiving many calls from our large team of volunteer distributors, who have been waiting patiently to receive supplies. They will distribute around 1,000,000 calendars and 1,500,000 tracts. Supplying this distribution networks involves a lot of hard work and long journeys, so please pray for stamina and safety as they undertake this important work.

Pray that the Lord will really bless his word.

Brother Stephen is due to fly to Malawi on 24th Feb, Brother Jim a little over a week later on 4th March. Please pray that both will remain infection free and have a negative Covid test to enable them to travel. With so much Covid around, it is becoming increasingly difficult to avoid infection.

Please also pray that the Lord will bless their trip. Following the fire at Saidi, there will need to assess the damage and make plans for reconstruction, as well as the further development of the project site, as well as reviewing other important aspects of the work.

Concerning Student Engagement, Anna Vallance says, “Give thanks for seeing so many students engaged and teachers active in BES (Bible Time).”

Anna and Wati have just spent a week in Lilongwe / Dzaleka reviewing the existing program among Swahili-speaking refugee children and working on translation of the material into Chichewa for wider use around Malawi. This project has huge potential for the Children’s work.

Anna asks us to continue to pray regarding her work permit.

She says, “I have been told it is in the final stages, but there is a new minister who needs to get orientated with her new job and take care of the backlog”
