Pray: Registration process for new Landcruiser
We are so thankful that the new 4×4 Landcruiser we have been waiting on has finally reached Malawi. It is presently in bonded storage but is expected to finally clear customs and proceed to the dealership for pre-delivery inspection in the next couple of days. It will then go for registration at the Road Traffic Department. Please pray for these final steps. Bureaucracy (and sometimes corruption) can be stressful and challenging.

Real Missionary Work (??)
Does network troubleshooting constitute “real missionary work”? As always, it’s been a joy to be back in Malawi. Today is the midpoint of a short trip which has already proved to be extremely valuable. I often feel frustrated that so much of my time seems to taken up with admin and planning, and not the “real missionary work” of preaching and teaching.

Meet Goliat Chisowa
Meet Goliat Chisowa, a gospel literature distributor from the southern region of Malawi. Transcript: My name is Goliat Chisowa, I stay in Mwatheta village. I have a family. I have six children. Calendars help us, we give them to students so they can know the date. The tracts encourage us because not everyone has a Bible. The tracts encourage us in the Word. For example, the tract “Going to Hell is your own choice”. So, where we may not have Bibles, we make use of the tract.

Bringing the Good News to Remote Places

Pray: Well drilling to proceed imminently
Please pray for a good supply of water as we proceed with well drilling at the Saidi site. Unfortunately our on-site borehole ran dry a couple of months back, causing considerably challenges there. We commissioned an independent survey which identified three locations with the promise of good water yields. The economies of scale of drilling three wells at the same time have given us confidence that now is the right time to proceed with the first phase of our longer-term plans to irrigate the few acres of farmland at the south of the site. Please pray that the investment will…
