He is Home!

What a blessing it was to greet Dr. Gentry, Mrs. Gentry and Peggy Hilton at the Chileka Airport in Blantyre on Saturday the 21st of January, 2011. Dr. Gentry was like a kid at Christmas time, excited, animated, and in a physical condition that I have not seen since 2007. What an answer to the prayers of all of us who love this dear family who have given of themselves and their worldly possessions to work in the Lord’s ministry here in Malawi.

On Tuesday the 25th we scheduled the national pastors and their wives to come and greet our director and also to sit under his instruction, and teaching from the scriptures. Mrs. Gentry and Peggy Hilton taught the women under a large tent while Dr. Gentry taught the men. There were approximately 180 men present, and 120 women. The pastors and their wives started to arrive on Monday morning and Good Samaritan fed them lunch and dinner. On Tuesday GSBM provided a tea/breakfast, and a good hot lunch after the teaching service was complete.

After Lunch Brother John paid the monthly support to the national pastors as well as supplying some of them with translated “The 7 Steps of Joy”, KJV John/Romans, “The Trail of Blood” and “Who are the Jehovah’s Witnesses?”. Ms. Goodman opened the clinic for those ladies and their children who were in need of medical assistance. Also she treated many of the men with open wounds and other aches and pains. The final event was the national pastors being able to get reading glasses from Good Samaritan. Faithful people in America have sent many different power reading glasses, and when we can we get them out to the people who are in need. Thank you for supplying this very real need!
