Time flies, we can’t quite believe we entering our 4th
year of living in Malawi!
We wanted to start this update with a focus on the wider
community in the southern part of Malawi where we live. Unfortunately last
week, we had 4 days of a cyclone that had come through Mozambique. This severe
weather has caused flooding & has tragically led to at least 30 deaths, 100’s
of injuries and tens of thousands of people having their homes collapse. On a
personal note we are absolutely fine, we have a solid house on a hill but a
colleague of ours lost her home on Friday and a close friend’s nephew was one
who lost his life. Thankfully the sun has returned but the recovery will take a
long time so your prayers for Southern Malawi are appreciated in this time.
We recently held a Father Heart day at our home, inviting
the young Malawians who attend our Encounter Evenings. We had a wonderful day
covering the Father Heart of God, forgiveness, Identity as children of God and
Sonship. Each teaching slot was followed by a time of ministry.
Here’s a quick testimony from Maureen Kailedzi who joined us:
"I really enjoyed the times of worship and experiencing the Presence of God. It was good to be reminded that God is my Father, because in the natural I am an orphan, but I know I have a Heavenly Father. I enjoyed the teaching on Sonship as I hadn't really heard of orphan thinking and sonship thinking. Whilst I identified with some of the orphan thinking it was encouraging to see that the sonship way of life is fully available to me"
We also had the pleasure of taking Jonah with us to the Thucila Hope Centre with us recently. Jonah is part of the leadership team at our church and we have the privilege of mentoring him. Jonah shared his testimony of coming into the revelation of God as his Good Father, and how that has transformed his thinking as a child of God. The pastors loved hearing from Jonah and we think it was very powerful for them to hear from a peer about what Father God can do.

Thank you as always for your support in what we’re doing
here in Malawi. If you wish to partner with the work here in Malawi and invest
in seeing the Kingdom of God continue to grow in this nation we value your
prayers as we know they are powerful!
As we continue to trust Father completely for His financial
provision in everything we do here, if you wish to invest financially we have ongoing
areas for investment in our vehicle & fuel costs allowing us to drive out
to remote areas to reach the pastors we train. One off or regular gifts can be
done through our Stewardship account: https://www.give.net/20189271
