Possibly my last Post.

Well, it’s been a while yet again since I last wrote anything here. There hasn’t been a lot happening for me the last month or so. I have only gone and done outside ministry maybe 3 times. We had a visiting team from Germany for about a week. I was able to take them out and do a Jesus movie showing with them which went very well and they were really blessed by it. Most of my work has been around the base doing all the little practical things that have needed to be done for a while and only now someone has time to do it. I have also been teaching people some of the technical things as well, such as the sound equipment and some simple computer knowledge as well.

I was able to on a weekend outreach 2 weekends ago and it went not according to plan which is normally in the plan. We were partnering with a local church in Blantyre and went to help them do some evangelism with the Jesus movie. We got there Saturday right around lunch time (which we skipped for some reason) and went straight into praying with people. We were told that there was a gather of people just down the road so we set off, on a different path that we came in on. Coming to an old bridge the car in front me didn’t slow down and all and have way across the bridge it broke and the car fell in. Thankfully the bridge wasn’t very wide, maybe 2 meters or so and the car had already passed over most of it so we were able to push the car up and out without any hassle.
The rest of the trip seemed to go all the same as the bridge breaking. Almost everything we did was turned upside down in some way. The Jesus movie got stopped half way through due to a mass amount of rain, which of course stopped when we were reading to head home after packing up. Though it rained again as soon s we got to base camp in the village. The next morning we got stopped by the Chief of the village as he was not informed of our visit which is customary in African villages to do. Thankfully after some apologizing he was accepting of us and even in the end asked us to come to his home area next time we come around. Sunday we yet again had a great outpouring of rain during church. We still had a great service with some testimonies, words of encouragement and praying for people. Over-all the trip went well even though it didn’t go as “planned”, though when you live in Africa you plan to have things go away from the plan.

We have had some other outreaches like this Easter weekend the base had two different teams go out and do some ministry. One was a conference were about 100 pastors got together for some training and the like. They had a great time, though again things didn’t go as planned but they really felt that things got done within that church and the teaching was really taken to heart. Another team, of just two people and a solar Jesus movie had two nights of Jesus movie showing. The first night the battery of the solar kit died and they were unable to finish but still able to pray for some people and the second night went much better.

It is great to part of a base that has such a strong heart to do ministry and even though I don’t feel so much inclined to do much ministry everyone around me has a desire to seek God’s heart through ministering to those around them.

My time is certainly winding down to an end very soon, might even be me last post before coming home. Thanks again for all your prayers and support in the last 7 months of my life.

Blessings and love from Malawi Africa.
