Travel plans for MGO 2017

I’ve been in touch with the airline concerning travel plans for this year’s Malawi Gospel Outreach.

I’m delighted to confirm that they have revised their high season timetable so that our planned days fall outside this period.

At time of writing I’m told that return flights from Dublin to Blantyre will be around €875, considerably less than comparable flights from London, and competitive compared with, “instant purchase” fares currently available on the web.

If you are interested in joining us, this price can be locked in on payment of a deposit.

As in previous years, places are limited by our accommodation in Malawi, so please let me know if you are considering joining us, even if your plans are not certain.

If you intend to make your travel plans independently please let us know your proposed itinerary before booking so that we can coordinate airport pickups and drop-offs. Airport days for arrival will most likely be Thurs 3rd, Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th, and for departure Saturday 19th or Tuesday 22nd.

Tiyeni

Will appreciate your prayers as I set off again for a further short trip to Malawi.

Hoping to further explore the possibility of establishing a number of regional literature storage and distribution depots to facilitate the increasing demand for our material throughout the country. Much wisdom required.

Urgent Request for Prayer – Grace Croudace

Dear friends,

May I ask you to pray earnestly for our dearly beloved sister, Grace Croudace who has had a stroke and is hospitalised in Chitokoloki, Zambia.

David and Grace have been the dearest friends to Gail, Philip and I over the years, and it was our joy to renew fellowship with them briefly last month in Malawi as they were there again in the Lord’s service, even though both of them are well advanced in years.
David is at Grace’s beside, typically, in his own words, “looking for His perfect will to be worked out.”  Please uphold them both at the Throne of Grace.

Thank you.

Stephen

“What a privilege”

From Alan Gaston: “What a privilege it was to be part of a great team of 16 workers from various countries on this trip in August 2016

What a joy to see people as they stood in the heat to listened to the Gospel proclaimed and their reception of the literature that was handed out at many markets . Some very interesting conversation were had with people and explaining that the Lord Jesus was the only way to heaven.

The prison was a wonderful experience – so many prisoners listened to the Gospel so attentively. Some of those that listened do Emmaus course‘s on a monthly basis.

This was my second trip and was well worth the effort and such a blessing.

I would encourage others to pray for the work done and consider a visit to Malawi 2017 (DV).”

Delighted to inform that we have now received the first draft of the translation of Food for New Believers, and that we are very hopeful of completing the editorial and typesetting work in time to have the finished publication ready before the end of the year.

Please keep this matter before the Lord so that we should know His help and guidance.

A home in heaven

Jim speaks to Mayi (Mrs) Felesta Godfrey and assembled family and neighbours outside the simple home built for her using funds donated by concerned believers following the storms in 2015.

This has been a wonderful testimony to the love of God and a great opportunity to speak of the eternal home in heaven prepared for all who put their trust in Christ.

Hundreds hear the Gospel

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.

Don’t lose your head!

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!

Pray for safe travel for remaining team members

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.
