With the tragedy
that is going on in Kenya, we have been stirred up in prayer and in the
importance of our lives for the short time we are here on this earth. Our
hearts and prayers go out to our brothers and sisters in Kenya, as many of them
gave their lives for their faith. We continue to pray for those still in
captivity.
Just as Christ
would walk for 70 miles just to give one woman the gospel in John 4, God brings
individuals into our lives. Today we had one Muslim young man visit our church
after we had an hour long conversation with him at evangelism. God has been so
faithful to encourage us, especially this month.
First we have had Julie’s mom, Sylvie, with us for the past
2 months. She has been a complete angel, being a team member and helping in the
church and evangelism.
Next, Pr. Renaldo
Brown and Pr. Nelson Nhkoma visited us from Zambia doing the opening of our 2nd
Semester in Bible College. We are overwhelmed at the response of people and
people’s hunger to listen to the Bible. We registered 75 people for our new
semester – the room is packed.
There was also our Southern African Leadership Conference,
which took place in Kitwe, Northern Zambia, with Pr. Adam Speedy. It was an
amazing time of fellowship in the Word with Pr. Scibelli who came from
Baltimore as the guest speaker. We brought 3 Leaders from Malawi along with Pr.
Albert and our Family on a 12 hour long African road trip – Quite an
Adventure! Pr. Adam and the Kitwe church did an amazing job hosting the event
and even had our whole family at his house – 5 kids all under one roof! Also we
had a day of Ice Cream Con, where Pr. Scibelli treated all the kids to as much
ice cream as they could stomach ( much to the delight of their parents).

Lastly, we had the great privilege of bringing Pr. Scibelli
across the border of the newest African country to be stamped in his huge
passport (it’s the size of a Gideon’s New Testament). After the 17 hour trip
back to Malawi from North of Zambia, he finally crossed into “The Warm Heart of
Africa”. He was welcomed with 4 full days of preaching, raps, Bible college
classes, and a Church Service of our 1st Annual “Mcon”. The
encouraging messages and the church’s hunger for doctrine was a perfect recipe
for an anointed time. The church and Bible College were greatly touched.
