This weekend we ministered in the trading center of Mkaika in the Nkhotakota District of Malawi. We began on Friday night by showing the first half of the “Jesus” film with Gaylord closing the service.
Saturday consisted of a morning teaching session on the Holy Spirit, lunch, and an afternoon session on marriage and family – with the men sitting on one side of the church and the women on the other. Gaylord shared, and then he and I conducted a question and answer segment. Very interesting! That night we showed the last half of the “Jesus” film, again followed by Gaylord ministering. Sunday morning service concluded the weekend before the two-hour trip trip home.
We were accompanied by three Bible school students from Assemblies of God School of Theology (AGST): Kenneth, Roland, and John. All three were instrumental in assisting with ministry functions from praise and worship to interpreting to children’s ministry to setting up and tearing down. What a great time we had!
We were privileged on Saturday afternoon to make a trip to the fishing village of Matumbi, where we conducted a crusade last year. We were greeted warmly by adults and children alike. It was great to see many of the church and village people who had attended. We brought a present to the village chief who converted from Islam to Christianity last year. Unfortunately, he had taken his wife to the hospital with health complications.
As usual we were treated to very nice food. Being on the lakeshore this included delicious fish. What a blessing these ladies and this ministry are.
At the conclusion of the weekend, the church expressed their appreciation by giving us clay pots, ground nuts, and chitinji cloth, wrapped around my head and body in traditional Malawi fashion.
We thank God for every opportunity we have to share the gospel at home and abroad.
