Malawi Mission Team Update ~ July 22

We were able to move around today and the rioting seems to have ended. Once the roads re-opened we traveled about 30 minutes away to the You-Turn Lighthouse Project. Clint, Joe, and I were able to teach approximately 70 tribal chiefs and their wives. So far we have made it through four lessons on leadership. I have never seen a group of people more hungry for the material we are sharing! The principles in the leadership study are Biblically-based, practical, and universal. When we presented the gospel, the whole room prayed. Nearly all were saved and left the conference with a brand new eternal destination! The gratitude they expressed for the training was humbling to us.

 

Randy Youst, Jeri Cook, and our friend Howie from South Lebanon went to the villages to share the gospel with those they encountered. From their effort today, 468 souls came into the Kingdom. Therefore, we believe that approximately 640 souls accepted Christ today in Lilongwe, Malawi, and many were trained and discipled. Praise the Lord!

 

Please continue to pray for the team:

• Pray for our ability to travel and that the country would remain calm.
• Pray for divine appointments and receptive hearts to the gospel.
• Pray for health. I have not felt well today, but was able to teach and share what I needed to.
• Pray for Joe Veal and Ross & Sherry Collier as they care for us and a team from Allen, Texas.
• Pray for our families that remain back home and the many issues they are dealing with in our absence.
