Give thanks: Child Protection Training
Please give thanks for the hugely successful 4-day child protection training we did on site at Saidi last week. This was very enlightening concerning the depth and extent of the problem of child abuse, and extremely informative on ways to address the issues in an African context. Please pray too that what we have learnt will really inform the way we interract with children, and that it may ultimately result in outreach opportunities in our community.

Pray: Stephen travelling on Wednesday
Stephen will appreciate prayer as he starts the long return journey home from Malawi on Wednesday. Also pray for the remaining couple of days of his trip, that he will be able to accomplish what he needs to. Stephen has meetings today with both the architect and a chap whom he hopes will be able to help short out some of our IT challenges in Malawi. In particular, he’s hoping to be able to get the issue of powering the CCTV cameras sorted out once and for all.

As we’ve reported elsewhere, the spiritual work at Saidi has been growing steadily. Since MGO 2022, more and more children have been coming to the weeking Bible club. Similarly, the mid-week adults’ Bible has been growing, and we now have a Gospel meeting on site every Sunday morning. Brother Goodson has a lot of responsibility for all of…

Yes – “Give Thanks: The Nthawi ya Baibulo (Bibletime) books have arrived” from the printer. Anna adds: PRAYER REQUEST Please pray for the five groups including us who will be using the curriculum, for help to get comfortable and use it prayerfully to ground children in the truth of the gospel. Note: This is a very significant moment for the team who have been involved in the painstaking work of translation for well over a year now. This is Year 1 of 3. The experience gained from this should enable the process to go more smoothly in the future as…

Safeguarding children and young people in Malawi
To be brutally honest, I never expected a course on safeguarding children and young people to be so profitable – and so enjoyable. I don’t think it was just the entertainment value of the numerous cars and trucks playing “stick in the mud” on the road passing the site. Or the valiant, if entirely futile efforts of the many muck-defying entrepreneurs offering to dig them out for a fee. There is, as you may have heard, “money in muck”. But I digress. On the contrary, our three guest trainers, Martin, Susan and Robbie from Tehila Zambia, did a truly fantastic…
