What a privilege to preach to such a large crowd of people just a short distance from our base at Thondwe, many of whom came aside to listen carefully to the Gospel.
Pray for the Lord’s rich blessing upon his word.
Yesterday we were at P.I.M., infamous as the home of the early 20th century political activist, Rev John Chilembwe, who became a national hero after decapitating one of David Livingstone’s descendants and preaching a sermon with his head on the pulpit as a protest against the colonial powers.
No one lost their heads yesterday, but Rob and Harold could easily have lost their voices preaching to the huge crowd, and others could have lost limbs in the frenzy to receive Seed Sower texts – joke!
The last few days have seen important progress in the Orphan Care project in Zomba.
Brother Emi has been on the ball since returning from Romania, and it is thrilling to see the bulldozer beginning the site clearance work at last.
As another day closes, we have so much to give thanks for. Zomba bus depot is a favourite location of ours to preach the gospel and distribute texts, and many of the drivers and vendors in the area remember us from previous years.
Many people stood to listen to the word today, but pray for George who acknowledged that the Lord was giving him a major opportunity as he had now received texts 4 years in a row, and Nehemiah who followed us from one location to another, engaging in serious conversation on both occasions, first with Rob and Euan, and then with myself.
In all, we have out around 4,000 items today, and it is a source of great thanksgiving to think of the very many souls who have come in contact with the Gospel, even in these early days of our effort.
Continue to remember us in prayer for good health and preservation. Although it is still the cooler party of the year, the sun is still strong as we stand and preach/distribute the literature.
We are so grateful to the Lord for bringing the remaining members of the group safely to Malawi today.
We are really looking forward to a time of blessing in the Gospel.
Please pray for Anna, Alan, Deborah, Euan, Isaac, Grace, Janet, Jim, Lois, Naomi, Peter, Rob, Sarah and Victoria. And of course, Harold, Goodson, Gail and I.
Thanks,
S.
We just spent an hour or two at Thondwe preaching the gospel and giving out around 3500 texts and Gospel magazines.
A few minutes after leaving Thondwe the team witnessed a fatal accident immediately in front of the minibus, in fact, a second or two could have seen our minibus involved in a head on collision.
Some of the team have been a bit traumatised by what they saw, but we are so thankful that the Lord preserved us from being personally involved.The experience reminds us of how urgent the work of the Gospel is.
Thank you for your prayers.
As I write, one team member (Euan) is in transit to Malawi and six others are preparing to start their journeys tomorrow, Lord willing.
Pray for Jim, Janet, Sarah and Lois, leaving from London, and Rob and Victoria setting off from Toronto.
After a housekeeping day yesterday, today we have begun the great work the Lord had given us to do.
We are at Mbulumbuzi,a small market not far from Thondwe. Pray for the Lord’s blessing.
Thanks
So, there’s no minibus for us, but we are all in good spirits.
This is the view from the airport bus this morning.
And this is the outlook for the Zomba area:
Looking to the Lord to make the sunshine of His face to shine upon us.
