Points for Prayer & Thanksgiving

    The acute crisis concerning food insecurity in Malawi is being made worse by the ongoing rains.

    Our efforts to help in the present crisis are being frustrated by continued adverse weather. Heavy rains are continuing from time to time, resulting in further damage to already difficult roads.

    It’s now two weeks since Cyclone Freddy began to wreak havoc across Southern Malawi. We have been trying to come up with an appropriate incident response plan. The body count continues to rise.

People in Blantyre recount how the cyclone settled over the city, dumping torrential rain, non-stop for three days.
