I had a very encouraging phone call with Bro. Harold earlier this week when he told me that the response to the latest literature distribution has been quite overwhelming.<\/p>\n

Since I returned from Malawi on 24 June Harold estimates the number of genuine SMS\/telephone enquirers to be around 50. The really encouraging thing is that these enquiries are originating from almost every district in the country, including places which we have not even visited. The ever-increasing challenge is how best to follow these up.<\/p>\n

Some are enquiring about the way of salvation, and others are looking for further supplies of tracts to distribute themselves. Particularly sought after are the “What happens to a person after they die?” and “If you go to hell it’s your own choice” tracts.<\/p>\n

The supply of 150,000 tracts which arrived in Malawi in early June is almost exhausted!<\/p>\n
