reach those with whom we come into contact,
watch for divinely arranged encounter where
we have the opportunity of preaching the
word
The photo, right, shows brethren and sisters
from Webuye and we expect more baptisms this
year. The work is hindered because we lack the
Kiswahili New Testaments you produced, indeed
we need the full Bible to be produced in
Kiswahili together with the Christadelphian
Commentary as local Bibles have much wrong
doctrine and so many are led astray. We do
appreciate this is expensive, but we fear that
without such many of our native people will not
have the opportunity of salvation.

I am pleased to tell
that after a Sister
has spoken to me
and discussed many
things about your
beliefs which I have
seen agree with what
the Bible teaches.
Please send me some
books so that I may
increase my knowl-
edge of God’s Word.

Some time back you sent me a box full of Bible
Basics in Chichewa, but now they are all
distributed. If you have some copies in
Chichewa, could you please send them to me

number of English copies, but it is difficult to
distribute these as most people cannot read
English.

of money which is the root of all kinds of evil,
brought punishment of death to himself. God
is not to blame.
God promised the human race life if he will
obey and abide by his laws (Gen. 2:16,17).
Unfortunately man did not obey nor keep the
law, thereby bringing suffering and death to
himself and his offspring.
Wars, hunger, illegal ‘hard’ drugs production,
pain, torture are man-made sufferings on
man. God is not to blame.
God is the Master and Maker of the universe
and not man. He created and caused some
happenings beyond man’s knowledge and
understanding. The power in nature is
awesome. We cannot experience an earth-
quake, a volcanic eruption, a raging sea or
hurricane, etc., without feeling helpless, for
these are God-made. God’s power is great and
we are weak. He does not give us a guarantee
