Sad to say, our consignment of Gospel Literature for Malawi is still delayed in Mauritius. In total, there are around 1.75 million items in transit, including (now overdue) Gospel Calendars and Tracts.
The consignment also includes several thousand prison hygiene packs.
According to the revised shipping schedule, the container is due to be moved early March – pray that there will be no further delays.
Although we are frustrated that our major literature shipment has been delayed, Harold & Goodson have been busy distributing the Calendars and other literature we had printed locally.
Food Insecurity has improved only marginally after Cyclone Freddy. Many areas, especially in the Southern Region, remain in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) and remaining official maize reserves are only enough to feed 200,000 households for 1 month, according to official estimates.
Please pray for our latest shipment of Gospel Tracts and Calendars has been delayed in transit.
Although the shipping agent told us on 16 Jan that it was due to arrive in a couple of days, it now turns out that the container has been stuck in Reunion / Mauritius since 28 Dec, with no ETA in Malawi.
This is a disappointment as we are eager to start using the contents as soon as possible.
Please pray that the container will soon be loaded on a ship for onward transit

The team would appreciate your prayers for the various children’s programs that will take place over the Christmas period. Hundreds of children will be fed and have opportunity to hear the Gospel at the events at Dzaleka Refugee Camp, the street kids’ feeding centre in Lilongwe, and at the SALT campus at Saidi.
These are wonderful opportunities to demonstrate the grace of God in practical ways. Pray that the kindness of the Christians, and the Word of God preached, would bear fruit in many young lives.
Harold would appreciate prayer as they plan to return back to their own home this week for the first time since the and robbery.
They have been staying at Anna’s home for the past couple of months while repairs and security improvements were carried out, but now really need to return so the boys can get back to school.
All are still anxious about the move, so please pray that the Lord will give needed grace after such a serious trauma.
Anna writes: Praise report! The police arrested the drivers of the truck [which had entered her property a couple of weeks back] today and brought them to Thondwe so we could meet with them.
And…it turns out their story [they claimed to be investigating poor cell network coverage in the area] is actually true! So they have been cleared and we are feeling relieved.
Note: We are truly thankful for this outcome. Although the threat was not as initially expected, the “jungle drums” will no doubt carry the message that you can’t get in and out of the area without being monitored – and that is a really good thing.
Please continue to pray for the safety and security of the team in the difficult months ahead – the economic situation is still dire and crime continues to be a serious threat.
