It’s a calm, Sunday evening. An occasional breeze blows, which helps to cool us down a little. I am enjoying watching the kids play. Famine, gas shortages, talks of protests against the current government swirl around us…yet God is at work! Sunday a girl I have been helping treat came to church with her brother.Continue reading “Yet God Is At Work”

Whenever I’m working, Jopeth is right there beside me, ready to help! The other day Mercy was having trouble playing in her cowgirl gear so set it on the porch and ran off. When I stepped back out, I saw the cutest, little cowboy! Of course every cowboy needs to round up a few criminals.Continue reading “Our Little Buddy”

We were in the middle of language lessons when suddenly Max came running up to the house. He asked us to come quickly as one of the ladies who cooks for the college students was in labor and about to have her baby. Brother Shadrick quickly got the truck and the girls and I jumpedContinue reading “Never Boring”

How precious is God’s Word to you? As I handed her a New Testament I could see how precious this was to her. Both of her sons have wounds that have needed to be treated. We have been cleaning and dressing them. During the time she has been coming, she has listened twice as IContinue reading “Gift of God’s Word”

“She felt like a kindred spirit,” I said, to which Eric raised his eyebrows to. “We just live completely different lives.” I added as thoughts about how differently our lives were came to my mind. He responded with, “It’s just because she talked so much.” I must admit he has a point. I thoroughly enjoyedContinue reading “Kindred Spirits”

The contrast is striking. As we walked down the little path, the mountains were clearly visible. I could not help but be awed by how majestic and beautiful they looked! But at the end of the path instead of a mansion with this awesome view, was a little cement house. I wanted a picture, butContinue reading “Glimpses of His Majesty”

At the gate sits a man. He is here almost daily working as a security guard. When I first came to Malawi, I thought that he didn’t like me. He always looked stressed around me. I am not sure if he was like that because he was nervous about his job, whether the new missionariesContinue reading “Blessings From Obedience”

“Though it was what I had been anxiously looking forward to so long, yet the consideration of being parted forever from my friends, almost overcame me. My feelings were those of a man who should suddenly be told that every friend he had in the world was dead.” Henry Martyn, Missionary to India and PersiaContinue reading “No Regrets”

Saturday soulwinning begins bright and early at 7 AM. Most things for us start at 7 AM – language lessons Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and Sunday services. They do this so they can avoid the heat of the day. Because I knew we were going to the new section again, this time I wanted toContinue reading “Just a Vapor”

Even though I always enjoy the Phokera Bible study, frequently I consider not going as it can be exhausting…but I’m always glad I go! Boys carried chairs, benches, boxes with Bibles and song booklets as we walked past the chief’s house down the path to the big tree. Mercy insisted on carrying her little friendContinue reading “To Be Like Jesus”
