We arrived on Friday, August
12th, on time and with all our bags! It is always special when your supplies
arrive with you and you don't have to shop to do ministry!
Saturday,
August 13th, found our team doing oral story-telling with local pastors and
church leaders. This was both educational AND fun for the participants. Another
team went out to lead evangelism training for a local, urban church. Of course,
in Malawi, every gathering can result in a two hour worship time before going
out into the community!Sundays are always special as many times we have the opportunity to worship with Bindula Baptist Church, a First Baptist Norfolk church plant. We had the largest attendance of any time we have been a part of their services, over 300 in attendance! It was an amazing time of corporate worship and hearts were mended and spirits lifted!
Monday, August 15th, was our first day of medical clinics as well as VBS. We had a medical person from a nearby hospital join our four medical personnel in attending to the health needs of the village of Komoyo as well as nearby villages. We ran out of medicine by early afternoon and asked many to return the next day to pick up medicine that would be purchased later that day. We had over 25 adults make decisions to follow Christ! Praise God for His favor and blessings.
In addition to the wonderful decisions at the health clinic, there were over 150 children for VBS! What a beautiful site to see so many children attentive to scriptures and reciting them back to our team. Fun was had by everyone, especially our team!
