We again express our gratitude to Raphael and his team who have begun distributing the items purchased through the kindness of the Lord’s people. Pails, soap and masks have already been distributed in Chitipa and work is underway to sew masks for the remaining five prisons in the region. Each inmate has also received a supply of Gospel Literature. Thanks to everyone who has given support to this valuable effort.

Still feeding hungry mouths
Although frustrated not to be able to be in Malawi as we normally would this time of year, we are encouraged by pictures and reports from the camp at Dzaleka. Sadly, one little girl passed away a few weeks ago, but there are still over 90 children being fed daily, and it is our privilege to assist with this program.
