We arrived safely and on time in Lilongwe to be greeted by Copeland, pastor of the Mzuzu UMC. While the team had been told we were going to the hotel, we actually went to Chilembwe UMC where the borehole sponsored by the Lenox UMC had been drilled.
The welcome from the church members and people of the village was amazing... typical of our usual village welcomes. It was an exciting and emotional afternoon as we dedicated the borehole on behalf of the Lenox church. It was a great beginning for everyone and especially for those who have not been to Malawi before!
The next surprise of the day was dinner at the home of Ossman Nkhata, the new pastor in Bethel. We all enjoyed great food and great company!
We ended the day with everyone answering the question, "Where did you see God today?" We all agreed we saw Him everywhere!
Tomorrow we are off to the farm. We will begin planning farm projects for next year and will take a tour of the farm with Lester. This has become an annual tradition for the team.
Peace and blessings to everyone.
Dennis
An awesome start to your journey, God bless!
