This post is mainly for the encouragement of the sisters who accompanied us to Malawi last August. Victory, pictured on the left with Harold and I, received a Seed Sower text from one of the ladies on our very first day of outreach at Blantyre market.<\/p>\n

He is a believer, and actively involved in Gospel outreach, and was impressed by the truth of the message the text contained. \u00a0He has been in touch a few times with Harold, but this was the first time we have all been able to get together. \u00a0It was very encouraging to hear a clear testimony of God’s saving grace, and to witness his interest in spreading the Gospel. \u00a0We were able to supply him with a few thousand tracts, and we have no doubt that he will soon be looking for more. \u00a0He has invited Harold to join him at an evangelistic Bible study he conducts at his home each Sunday afternoon. \u00a0A valuable contact indeed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
