So, we arrived at the Printer’s in Blantyre at 11.30am, as instructed, to find that only 5,000 of our calendars were ready for collection! We’d been faithfully promised that we would be able to take delivery of at least 10,000, a quantity at the lower end of what would make the 520Km round trip to Nsanje district worthwhile.
Although we had good supplies of other Gospel tracts to distribute, it was evident that it would not be profitable to make the trip and not fulfil the demand of many of the contacts we hoped to meet, so we regrettably had to postpone the trip.
All of which means we haven’t really been able to make a start on the large distribution task ahead. I’m promised “a larger quantity” of calendars by Monday, but as we’ve only received 5% of an order placed a month ago, I’m not exactly sure what to expect.
We appreciate all who are praying about this situation, and are confident that the details are all in the Lord’s hands. Please continue to pray that, if it is the Lord’s will, the matter will be resolved in time to enable us to make a prompt start at the completion of next week’s Bible-teaching conference, Tues-Thurs (D.V.)
