I didn’t expect to cry

MGO has been challenging and encouraging to me, both of which are personal answers to prayer!

Visiting the prison today (Tues 13th) was emotional for me for many reasons, but I didn’t expect to actually cry and I did a few times during the gospel message that Jim shared with the the men and women there. I watched one male prisoner specifically because when Jim first stood up to speak I noticed he laughed and continued talking to his friends. But as the message of the gospel continued I watched the prisoner’s face become very focused, he stopped joking around and seemed to really listen to what Jim and Harold were saying.

Obviously, I don’t know what that man was thinking or feeling, but just to watch his change in attitude as he heard the gospel was a great personal reminder of the power of God’s word!

The Prison & The Pottery

On our way to Dedza prison today we saw a large truck that had just rolled over. The people of the village thought it was their lucky day as it was full of beer and they were going crazy removing all unbroken bottles, free of charge! For some distance after the accident we saw people carrying their loot away in a big hurry. Strangely on our way home the area was very quiet. I was a bit concerned that the people were more concerned about the loot than the driver and I sure hope no one was crushed under it as people walk and bike along the roads.

Literature Publication

Gospel Literature production remains SALT’s primary focus.

We have just completed reformatting the next two Bible courses for use in Malawian prisons – there are now 6 courses available in the new format, complete with all the Bible references necessary to enable a prisoner to complete the study even if s/he has no access to a Bible.

It’s only 8 months since we took delivery of 1,000,000 Gospel tracts.

What a thrill to receive this message earlier today…
