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.

Delights at Dedza
It’s always a joy to stop at Dedza Pottery – one of my favourite spots, anywhere – to break the journey between Lilongwe and the south. The air is cool, they do the best Chicken Curry for miles around, and we’ve been enjoying Dedza Delights with great Malawian coffee since first we came to the country. A great watering hole.
This time was particularly special as we met with a group of brothers from Chidewere, some of whom have attended our Bible Teaching conferences, and who have started to gather together for Bible study and prayer.
Jim, Harold and Stephen with some of the brothers from Chidewere.
These dear men were anxious to begin functioning as a Scriptural assembly, and over lunch we were able to point out the simple principles upon which the early disciples met together – Receiving the Word, Baptism, the Apostles’ Doctrine, Fellowship, Breaking Bread & Prayers.
It was a real thrill to learn a few days ago that they have since begun to break bread together is accordance with the New Testament pattern.
Prison Chaplaincy Training
We spent two days at the Malawi Prison Service Training Centre at Mapanga, considering the important role of chaplaincy in the well-being of prisoners and reduction of reoffending.
Although well-established within the prison culture in the UK, chaplaincy is still in its infancy in Malawi.
It was a privilege to spend a couple of days with key officers within the chaplaincy team, who work with limited resources for the spiritual and physical care of inmates.
Dzaleka Refugee Camp Update
Earlier this month we had the opportunity to pay a brief visit to see the ongoing work at Dzaleka.
Jim & I were so grateful that the ongoing unrest in Malawi abated enough to enable us to make a brief visit to see the work of COOM which we have been privileged to support a little during the past few months.
Hygiene Pack Shipment Good to Go
We put the final touches to our latest consignment of Prison Hygiene Packs this afternoon. 7 pallets with 133 cartons (approx 3000 packs) will be picked up tomorrow and taken to the premises of Revival Movement Association to be consolidated with the second part of our literature shipment, and onward to Malawi this weekend.
If you’d be willing to help with this ministry, please get in touch. https://saltrust.org/pack/packing-instructions/
MGO 2020
We are excited to announce provisional dates for MGO 2020, which will be from 1st to 15th August (subject to final confirmation).
Happy children this Christmas
I just received these photos of the children at Dzaleka enjoying a good meal thanks, at least in part, to the kindness of. so many Christians who are giving to help feed them.
