Brother Stephen is planning to fly to Malawi on Wednesday, Lord willing, his third trip of the year, so far.

Although this is somewhat more frequent than usual, there are several aspects of the building project that presently warrant attention. Stephen is also hoping it will work out to have some Gospel meetings at the refugee camp at Dzaleka.

Please pray specifically:

That further security equipment on order will arrive on time to be taken to Malawi
For journeying mercies and safety/stamina while abroad
For help and wisdom in planning & prioritising the works
For help with planned literature distribution
For Gail as she remains at home this trip.

Please pray for our next major literature distribution which will take place shortly. As demand for Gospel Literature has grown, so the logistics of meeting the demand have become more complicated. This typically involves several thousand KM and a couple of weeks on the road.

Brother Goodson says: “There is a lot happening here at the site. Also, there is also the work with Anna and the Bible studies. We need to be praying for these things so that this work for the Lord will go well.”

Note: Brother Goodson is kept very busy supervising the ongoing building project as well as construction of a house for Anna nearby. He does this work faithfully and diligently while also managing to keep several Bible studies going on site.

Pray: Harold travelling to deal with problem at literature depot

Bro Harold is planning to travel to Lilongwe and on to Kasungu shortly to try to sort out a problem in our literature storage container there. It has an infestation of chiswe (white ants).

The container has subsided due to heavy rains, enabling the chiswe to enter. It needs to be raised and repositioned on concrete pillars to keep it off the ground. White ants are very destructive and could quickly destroy our literature stocks.

Kasungu is approximately 1000Km round-trip. Soaring costs of fuel mean that Harold is keen to accomplish as much as possible on this trip. He asks that we pray for travelling mercies and that he will not only be able to sort out the white ant problem, but that he will be able to make the trip profitable in other ways.

Wati reminds us that many of the builders and other workers at Saidi regularly attend Goodson’s weekly adult bible study. This is really encouraging to see.

Most are unsaved, so please pray for their salvation, and for the growth of those who do know the Lord.

Wati reminds us to please continue to pray for the women who recent completed the skills training at Dzaleka.

Our aim was to equip them to earn an honest living to help lift them from the poverty trap which often leads to prostitution and other vice. Pray for wisdom as we go forward – to know how best to help further as they try to establish small businesses. Especially pray that the the investment in their physical needs will lead to even further opportunities to bring the Gospel to them and their families.
