Edward reports on an impending crisis which threatens the existence of the Street Kids feeding centre in Lilongwe.

SALT gives regular financial support, but does not actively run the feeding centre in Lilongwe. They do an amazing work feeding street kids and other very vulnerable people who would otherwise starve.

Please remember this situation in prayer.

Greetings to all of you friends and partners of Divine Touch Youth Foundation in Malawi, where we feed the children – those that are street kids, the mammas that goes around in town begging and those that are vulnerable. So our main aim is that we always do this in order to show them the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.

So, we got this is an opportunity that as we are feeding them, we should also be preaching the Word of God to them. Mchesi has been an area where a lot of prostitution drug addicts and a lot of alcoholism has been taking place.

I would like to appreciate the kind gesture that SALT has been doing. SALT has been blessing us  a lot, have been sending us funds that have been helping us in many ways to keep this running. So, we’d like to thank you all the members of SALT, wherever you are it’s been a privilege that we have you as partners as friends

We just have finished the feeding – all these few people you can see them around means that you are finishing the feeding

We have got a need this year. We’ve got a challenge. We always have got corn but as I’m talking right now, the corn that we had last year is the one that we are finishing this month, that will mean we will not have any corn any more.

So looking at how much corn we normally use five hundred bags and that caters for the whole year and those who normally purchase them for us they told us that they have been having difficulties to have funds that they can be able to buy corn as well as beans that can cater for the whole year

So we are saying this so that you can take note of and you can be praying for us because we know that if we don’t have corn this year, then that will mean that the feeding center needs to be shut off, and that will mean that all the people we’ve been helping and feeding and people have been preaching to they will never have any chance to come and get food here.

But that will mean that they will starve because whatever meal they get here whether once a day, it helps them. It sustains them.

God bless you.

Take note that we always appreciate. Thank you so much. We wish you all the best. Thank you for.

Pray

Anna writes: Please pray that our visit to Dzaleka and Divine Touch (Street Kids’ Feeding Program) will be a blessing and encouragement to them and that the Lord will watch over us as we travel.

Note: Anna and Wati will be travelling this incoming week to monitor the progress of the Bibletime work at Dzaleka, as well as the various relief programs SALT supports there and in Lilongwe. In recent months the Government has been forcibly returning immigrants to the camp, exacerbating the overcrowding there.

During the past week we had the following reports from William (Dzaleka) and Edward (Lilongwe):


Stephen & Harold have been on the road for several days last week, supplying Gospel literature and visiting the projects SALT has an interest in at Lilongwe and Dzaleka.

At Mchesi, Lilongwe, around 300 street kids and vulnerable adults receive a simple but nutritious meal daily. Without it, most would have to scavenge or starve. It was a joy to be able to share the Gospel with them as they waited for their food on Thursday afternoon.
