I\u2019ve just returned a few days ago from my latest visit to Malawi, and want to sincerely thank all who were praying while I was away.<\/p>\n
Without going into detail, early in this trip I had probably the most harrowing experience of my life when I collided with an elderly pedestrian, through absolutely no fault of my own. Although for some time I was certain that I had killed her and probably sent her to a lost eternity, quite miraculously \u2013 and I really mean that \u2013 her life was spared, and in fact she survived the incident better than the robust old Land Rover Discovery I was driving, sustaining just a cut to the head and some severe bruising.<\/p>\n
We are so thankful to the Lord for graciously sparing the woman\u2019s life, for sparing me the anguish of having really killed her, and the untold trouble which would surely have followed had that actually been so. We thank Him too for resultant opportunities to bear testimony in the Gospel.<\/p>\n
As you join with us in thanksgiving, please pray for the lady, Margaret, her friends and family. Doubtless God has spoken to them. And please pray too for the tens of thousands of items of Gospel leaflets which have been distributed during this visit \u2013 may all be for the glory of God, and the blessing of lost souls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
