MISSION MALAWI
Dear Fellow Saints,
As Jesus sent his twelve disciples out on their missionary journey, He reminded them that the authority and power they possessed was given them by the Holy God of Heaven. We too need to keep in remembrance that what we have in this present world is by the Grace of God; not of ourselves! We serve Him for His pleasure and it is a privilege, not a right.
This month we have primarily visited Masidi Good Samaritan Church in the village of Namulu, Mkalo district. During our two visits 180 souls believe and received Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior; to God be the Glory! We also baptized 71 in a local creek and ministered to the church with medicine and Bible teaching helps.
The school year is coming to a close for 6 young men and ladies as they are taking their exams to complete Form 4, (grade 12). They are excited about finishing school, but they are also apprehensive about becoming adults and going back to their respective villages, or Lord willing onto higher education. We continue to encourage the children that are not graduating to work hard in the area of their education.
We are still praying and working on the acquiring of the land next to the Mapanga compound. We have to be patient and allow God to move the heart of the owner, as He sees fit. The door is not closed to the purchase, but it is moving very slowly.
John is in America part of this month to attend our daughter’s graduation from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. He also is taking care of some business that can only be handled on that side of the pond.
Darcy, Sarah and Johnathan will be staying in Malawi to continue the ministry and take care of any problems that arise while John is gone.
Also this month we are moving from our present location into another home that is smaller and much more manageable. The new location will be on a better road and Lord willing all will go well.
The Mowery family from Bible Baptist Church of Fairbanks, Alaska have sold their home and are moving forward to joining our family here in Malawi. We have known this family for many years and are excited about sharing this ministry with them.
We met with Aleck Ngwazi from Mzuzu earlier this month and have scheduled meetings up in the north of Malawi for the month of September, 2010. He has started a Good Samaritan Church in this area and has encouraged us to come and preach/teach the people.
Please pray with us for:
1. Purchase of the land next to the Mapanga Compound
2. Healing and health for Dr. & Mrs. Gentry
3. Clear direction for the Ntcheu project
4. Printing press for the ministry in Malawi
5. Graduating students from Mapanga.
6. Mowery Family to Malawi

By His Grace & Mercy,
John, Darcy, Sarah & Johnathan
