Give thanks that Goodson and Harold’s health are both improving after their recent illnesses, but please keep praying for stamina and overall well-being.
Note: As with almost every public service in Malawi, government health care is seriously under-resourced, to the point of being useless in many areas. Our Malawian brothers and sisters have, at best, very limited access to private health care, so minor ailments can easily become big problems. Please remember them continually in your prayers,
Anna says, “Give thanks that the last document for the A-Series was sent to the designer this week!”
She adds, “Please pray for timely design of the Bibletime curriculum. The designer is swamped, but it would be nice to be able to start in the new year. The need for this kind of material is becoming increasingly evident at our weekly kids’ Bible class.”
Brother Harold recently mentioned several contacts who are interested in Baptism: “I talked to two sisters whose testimonies are clear and Goodson has talked to three or four brothers whose testimonies are clear too.”
As you give thanks for this, please pray that the brothers will have wisdom as they go forward. Harold continued, “Goodson has some difficulties in going forward because of the responsibility he has so he wants to make sure that these who come have pure motives.”
Anna says, “Give thanks for consistent attendance and new faces every week at Sunday Gospel meeting”.
Brother Harold shared this photograph of the group that turned out for the meeting this morning.
It’s so encouraging to see how the regular Sunday Gospel meeting has continued to grow in number following the two-week series during MGO.
As we give thanks for this, Harold asks that we also pray for wisdom to know how best to take the work forward. Pray too for blessing in salvation as the Gospel is preached.
Over the past two weeks we’ve been wonderfully reminded why MGO is such an important part of our annual calendar. Please join with us in thanking the Lord for His help and blessing, and continue to pray for blessing upon the word, specifically:
We are now halfway through MGO 2022. After a 2-year break due to Covid, it has not disappointed us. To God be the glory!
Give thanks for the safe, and relatively trouble-free arrival of the entire team. Many have travelled very long distances, and we praise God for their safety while travelling.
None of the bags arrived with the advance party on Thursday, but we are thankful that the last of the outstanding bags arrived on the same flight on Sunday as the final team members. MGO 2022 gets underway today.
Anna writes: “I am thankful for the Lord’s help to finish the initial revisions on all of the lessons for the A-series of Bibletime.”
While work continues on construction of the maintenance workshop and stores, please join with us in giving thanks for the installation of a 3KVA solar pv system to power the new print room and office, due to take place this week.
This represents a considerable investment, but with regular (often daily) prolonged (8+ hr) blackbouts due to load shedding, we have no real option but to go “off-grid”. A power outage during a print run is not just inconvenient but can damage the equipment.
We are thankful for the donated digital duplicator and ancillary equipment which will enable us to produce short-medium run Bible courses and other publications. Pray that it will be mightily blessed by the Lord.
