What an exciting day yesterday was…and extremely busy! We had our first baptism in Nyamula and have officially organized the church. We all loaded up into the back of the truck around 6:30 AM. It is quite cold for this time of year down here, so we were bundled up in thick sweaters or coats.Continue reading “And They Were Added to the Church”

“First I’m Going to Sew Your Wound”
A little one sat in front of me with a wound on his leg. “Don’t be afraid.” I told him with a big smile as I poured some water on a gauze to wash his wound. “First I’m going to sew your wound.” I realized what I had said when I saw the look ofContinue reading ““First I’m Going to Sew Your Wound””
His Strength Is All I Need
Resurrection weekend was an exciting time around here. We planned a “3-day” conference with the church plants in Nyamula and Phokera, the church here, plus two other churches associated with this ministry. When they have conferences, there is singing and preaching throughout the days, and singing late into the night. We did not stay outContinue reading “His Strength Is All I Need”
Little Jessica
Recently the girls and I went on our own little excursion to visit a young lady named Sophie. She married one of the young men named Aakim. He helped us a lot with the youth ministry at the Tengani church and now helps in the main church. Sophie is one of the only Malawians whoContinue reading “Little Jessica”
Mrs. Trouble & Mercy
“Amayi Mavuto!” I heard Mercy yelling. When I turned my head to look, there was one of the ladies at the church holding Mercy’s arm and her little tote bag while Mercy struggled to get away from her. What does “mavuto” mean? Trouble. Mercy was calling this lady “Mother Trouble, or Mrs. Trouble”. Why? Continue reading “Mrs. Trouble & Mercy”
Flooding
I have a special prayer request. On Tuesday, Eric took Lydia to a doctor appointment. She was diagnosed with a kidney condition called nephrotic syndrome about two years ago and had a recent relapse after a sickness. Usually I go as well, but because I have sick kids at home and it was just aContinue reading “Flooding”
God Cares
God is so good to us. He knows everything that we go through and gives the grace needed for whatever we face. Sometimes He shows His care for us in big ways. But often we can feel His care the most in the little things. One of those ways happened last year. Continue reading “God Cares”
Draw Me Nearer, Blessed Lord
I read a book a few years ago called Humility: The Beauty of Holiness by Andrew Murray. I recently found it on Podbean and have been listening to it in the mornings. I cannot recommend it enough. It is powerful and convicting. I could listen to it daily as I am in such need ofContinue reading “Draw Me Nearer, Blessed Lord”
Beauty in the Mundane
Sometimes in the mundane routine of life you can lose how amazing your surroundings are. Everything just feels normal. But when you pause for a moment, you see it. We walked down the path to make visits, we approached a little house. It was almost hidden by the tall grass surrounding it. The mountains toweredContinue reading “Beauty in the Mundane”
Finally Baptized!
How excited I was for her! She had waited so long, and now, she was finally getting baptized! Agogo* Fatima greatly desired to be baptized at the first baptism in Phokera, but only because she wanted to be a member of the church. She tried getting into the baptismal, going from one side to theContinue reading “Finally Baptized!”
