NOVEMBER 2009

Dear Friends,

As you wind up this year, let it be known that it is through Him we have all made it.

I would like to thank you for both the prayer and financial support you have once again given us in this year to make sure that what the Lord has laid upon our hearts comes to pass. We could not do anything without the Lord using you. Here are some items being done this year. Find the attached with photos:

  1. The Gospel preached: The Lord spoke to us in 2004 to quit church pastoring for evangelism and plant churches. This year alone we are going to do 21 Gospel Crusades with 18 churches planted! We have seen so many people coming to Jesus and being set free by His power. Our targeted people groups are the least reached ones, the Muslims, mainly in the, deep remote areas where not many ministers are interested in going to.

  2. Gospel Equipment Replaced: Our Gospel equipment was replaced sometime this year after the one we had was burnt. The most expensive one being the Projector. Buying a new strong generator was makes us smile each time we are in the villages where there is no sign of electric power.

  3. Pastor’s Conference: Out of the 100 pastors we planned for and invited, 79 came for a two day pastors’ conference. What a time we had. The message was simple, loud and clear: Forgiveness, Hearing from God. One would never expect pastors to harbor grudges and un-forgiveness. This was exposed by the power of God as His Spirit swept through among the pastors. What a time we had.

  4. Feeding the Hungry: The hungry are being fed. These are mostly the chronically sick, the disabled, the orphaned, the old widowed, etc. This is being in the form of maize, rice, peanut butter, milk, beans, sugar, salt and some daily basic needs like, soap, body lotion etc. Where ever we go for a crusade, we find people who need our help. That is how we get people to be ministered to holistically.

  5. Feeding The Under malnourished and Sick People: We have just started feeding both the terribly and moderately sick with Pea-Nut, at a very large scale. Very nutritious foods for them. In 14 days they are back to their feet!

  6. Nursery School: In the mean time we have three Islamic Communities where we are doing kindergarten. We are feeding those children on a daily basis, five days a week. We need to open many of such places as a strategic plan to win so many Muslim children to Christ

  7. Child Sponsorship: Through this program, the sponsored children’s lives are being changed for the better. They have school materials uniforms, shoes, and eat on a daily basis. There are so many poor orphaned children in Malawi and who come to us in need of this program.

  8. Beddings: Mosquito nets and beddings have been given to so many people. This is in quest to alleviate the cause of malaria and at least give some warmth to in the night to those without any covering.

  9. Eye Glasses: We are a joy in providing free eye glasses to those with eye sight problems.

  10. Clothes: The naked have enjoyed plenty in getting both new and good used clothes.

  11. Housing the Home-Less: We have built four houses this year. One man who has benefited from this is a crippled one. Now he sleeps in a well ventilated house with iron sheets!!

  12. Health Services: We are in the mean time doing OPD, Under Five Clinic, Voluntary Counseling and Testing of Blood. We are providing these with a minimal charge so as to have a drug revolving fund. Many times we give free drugs to our poor patients as they can not afford to pay anything. Very expensive drugs are to be bought for so many of those poor patients.

  13. Palliative Care: In conjunction with Malosa Anglican Hospital, we are doing palliative care. Our major part is to provide transportation four times a month, give spiritual support to patients, and provide to them their dally needs.

  14. Transport for Individuals and HIV/AIDS groups: We are able to provide transport to individuals and HIV/AIDS groups on a monthly basis so that they get the much needed drugs, ARVs. We have twice done Mobile Clinics deep into the villages for free.

  15. Safe Water: Seeing so many people dying of water related diseases, we have been able to provide safe water to the communities through drilling of boreholes. So far we have done Four Wells. The need to drill so many boreholes is so great. We need more of these safe water facilities so as o minimize the water borne diseases.

  16. New Hospital Building: This is one of the biggest projects we have just embarked on. The first phase of the project consists of a 14 room building, 20 by 14 meters. We have finished the raising of the walls and we need to roof it as quickly as possible. Just finish off the building.

Once again, we thank you for your financial support. It is my hope that one day eternity will be able to show you what you are doing.

Yours in His Name.

Pastor Francis & Maggie
