Mzuzu Ministry

We have traveled to the northern city of Mzuzu a couple of times for ministry, and each time we have really enjoyed ourselves.  The country is beautiful, and so are the people.

We stopped at local markets...

      

...drove through a national forest and a rubber plantation...

 

...enjoyed interesting sights and beautiful scenery...

       

...visited a coffee plantation with the agronomist who terraced the land...

        

...welcomed the use of a village toilet...

 

     

...and enjoyed wonderful times of ministry with three of our churches as well as

meeting several of our pastors.

      

Termite Tasting Time

After the rains come and go, scores of termites fly en masse from the ground heavenward.  The photos do not adequately capture the sight, but if you look closely you can see them on the ground and in the air. Even the dog and deer were fascinated.

This is the time that the locals love to capture and cook (or eat raw) these tasty morsels.  I joined our security guard today in an afternoon snack.  As you can see, he was a bit more excited about this delicacy than I was.  But I'll have to say, "You don't get this kind of taste treat in Texas! "

 

 

Strategic Partnership Meetings A Success

The Malawi Assemblies of God has a 4 x 1 Initiative  for 1 church to plant 1 church in 1 year and send 1 student to Bible school.  To help accomplish this task, several partners from the United States have joined with our Malawi brothers to outline a plan of action that will help to see this vision become a reality. 

In the next 24 months, the goal is to construct 100 Bible school extension centers across the country.  These extension sites can double as church locations as well.  Priority One Ministries, Africa Tabernacle Evangelism, Strategic Missionary Resources, and many other pastors and individuals are joining forces to assist the Malawi church in this undertaking.

The last weekend of January, as many of these partners as possible gathered in Lilongwe to survey properties, discuss options, and pray for God's direction.  It is our pleasure to be a part of such a great team that God is bringing together to see His purposes accomplished in Malawi.

 

      

     

And what meeting would be complete without the wives joining in for some good food and fellowship!
