“HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET…”

As a follow up to where our dusty feet took us yesterday, the pastor from the village of Biwi shared with us some very exciting news today.

There were three chiefs at our meeting in Ngala yesterday that did not profess to be Christians, who indicated that they wanted to make a change in their lives and villages, and they made a decision to accept Jesus. They also said that they were ready to start going to church, which was a huge step for them.

We started our day in Biwi with Joy and Sara teaching the children the flannel graph story on Creation, and singing choruses in both English and Chichewa. It was fun to watch even the smallest children take the lead in some of their songs.

Liz had a special presentation for the widows on personal hygiene, oral rehydration, and malaria prevention. A local Malawian nurse interpreted for her as well as adding insight from her own experiences with the people. The widows showed keen interest in basic health teaching. It was encouraging to see.

Once again our dusty feet took us on HBC (home based care) visits of the sick, to present them with packages of fortified porridge and sugar as well as pray and sing for them. We quoted scripture to bring hope to their destitute circumstances. We always come away so blessed when we can give them encouragement.

At the end of the day, we went to purchase mosquito nets for the orphans with the funds that were raised at home. They will be distributed in the various communities we have been working in these 2 weeks.

When we return to the hotel after working all day, we look forward to washing our dusty feet AND sandals. We are so blessed to have that privilege that we so often take for granted.

Blessings to all and thanks again for your continued prayers.

Liz and Joy for the team
