NEWS FROM BROTHERS & SISTERS

Bible lessons. Here at Ngabu the work of God is going smoothly because God has added more people to our church. Please may I ask fellow Christadelphians all over the world to help us by prayers because of the situation which Malawi and the whole of Africa faces.

NKHTAKOTA

I am 50 and Cathy my wife is 39 years and we have 5 children one is studying in university of Malawi for 4 years she is in the second year another is finishing his form four, two of them are in form two and the last one will be going to secondary school so that I thank GOD because they were thrown out from my former mission School. Thank you for arranging for seven Chichewa Bibles and I have to share them in our ecclesia.

I am encouraged by the way people are trying to respond to the word of God. Today Leonard and Catherine visited an Ecclesia at Mwansambo and next week is scheduled to visiting and training the Brothers and Sisters in these areas. I still thank God for being faithful.

NTCHEU

Warmest greetings of love and peace in our fabulous hope in Christ. God is in control here but some months ago my mother, who was disabled, died. We cannot live without God's words. `Gospel News' is probably the most widely circulated and interactive Christadelphian magazine and it helps a lot of people to receive God's words. I want to encourage you in printing the whole Bible: to me it is another interesting thing and I assure you we are waiting for a copy.

SALIMA

I just want to share with you that by the grace of God we have found a new contact in Salima. This man is originally from Nkhotakota but settled in Salima at a place called Limbe, just close to Salima

township. He is a retired pastor of Anglican Church and is still being used as a pastor. His surname is CHIWEYO and is commonly called Pastor Chiweyo. The interesting part of his story is that he has wholeheartedly accepted the `doctrine' and he has even started teaching it in his church and he has told me that he is very ready to quit. The only thing that he fears is financial support; once he quits, the church will remove his name from their pension voucher and, because he does not have any other income or any other means by which he can create any, he asks me to try to find any income generating activity so as to support him with his family should his little pension cease. Health-wise he is not 100% because he was once knocked down with paralysis which affected one of his legs. He walks by being supported by a stick. It seems he was a teacher before he joined the pastoral work so one time last year he was picked by a private school as a teacher, but this time he is not working. Since our first meeting a year last October, I have given him some books including Bible Basics and he has managed to get a number of what he styles `disciples' from his church. When we met today he told me he is arranging to have a meeting on one of the Saturdays with those disciples where I will be called to assist him answer some of the questions to the topics he may not have fully grasped as yet. How do I help this contact?

Thank you very much and may the Lord be with you as you ponder over this issue.

TSANGANO

Those who confessed their sins and turned to God, have left their sorceries. 2 Kings 23:24-25. Witchcraft has no power over God's people who keep trusting in Him. God has always been against sorcery and witchcraft. "If God is for us who can be against us?" Romans 8:31-39. I was once African traditional witch doctor, but now I am a born again in the Christadelphian Church at Tsangano.
