The last 2 Sundays Dad and I have been out ministering in village churches. This Friday I will be speaking at a lunch hour service. We are gearing up for our Christmas distributions (Since we now have 1800+ on our list, we will be doing 5 different distributions). At the Christmas distributions we give out food, as well as a few sweets, some vasoline,clothing and blankets.
We had been working among 5 villages, we added another one, and then several more quickly requested help. We ended up taking on some people from 2 more villages, and refused other requests. The last 2 we took up are a good hour and a half walk, and since Mom visits those who are on our list to check on their needs and we have many people coming to see us with requests taking the other villages would have been overwhelming. It often isn't practicable to drive to these areas as there are streams that have no bridges that can support a motor vehicle and some of the paths are too narrow.
We also have been helping supply money for fertiliser for people in our area. Since many Malawians live by subsistance famring this is helping them help themselves. We are praying for good rains this year so that the people can have a good harvest.
