TWO Days for the Price of One!

Day 1:

In the morning we went to exchange money, buy water for the bus and gas for the bus and amazingly that took all morning! We were very late getting to the farm so the program was postponed until the next day. The welcome at the farm was beyond imagination. We parked in front of the new church and walked past the new storage building to the new water tower for the solar pump system. The size and scope was remarkable - four 5,000 liter tanks that fill in six hours! Several climbed to the top to enjoy the view and get a better perspective on how much land can be irrigated. That evening, we returned to Kayesa Inn where our usual chicken, rice and chips (French fries) dinner was followed by the question, "Where did you see God today?" and devotions. Progress at the farm continues to amaze! Clearly God is at work here through Lester and Edward.








Day 2:

After months of preparation for Bible School, the big day was finally here! We arrived at the farm to find a handful of people to greet us. Turns out everyone was inside the church! We expected 200 kids and had 30-40 instead. Melody and the gang regrouped and it turned out to be an amazing Bible School. It even included adults - so everyone had a great time! Bible School was preceded by an inspiring and thought-provoking message by Pastor John. We continued outside to play with the kids. Bob had an instant picture camera that drew constant crowds. Lunch was served by the women of the church and was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. We toured the farm in the afternoon to find Lester and Edward's hard work exceeded expectations by a factor of ten. We returned to the hotel for dinner, conversation and devotions as we were all exhausted by our humbling day.

The team is healthy and doing great! When you spend 24/7 together, you bond pretty quickly.

Keep the prayers coming! We have a long way to go.
S & H - "Dikomo for a great vacation!"

Peace and blessings,
Dennis

  1. Wish I were there too! Eletina is coming home today (Thursday) from the hospital and we have been talking about the Team being in Malawi. Please pass our love on to the people, and we continue to pray for all of you every day!
    As all of my Malawi friends like to say: Remain Blessed, and remember, God is in Control!
