This past week we had thousands of flying visitors in our front yard. There were so many that it concerned me. I whispered to the kids to go into the house quickly & quietly. The kids and I had been outside setting out plates and bowls for a picnic lunch when we heard a loud […]
In the States the month of May means spring time, rain, flowers and graduations. Soon the caps & gowns will commence and summer vacation is around the corner. While many get their diplomas in America, here in Malawi, Africa we are donning our stocking caps and unpacking the down.
Our rainy season has passed and the […]
Beautiful Saviour, Blantyre, Malawi, has a rare privilege. We have brothers and sisters in the faith from various African countries. Our English worship is the common language that brings us together. In this multi-language African city we feel the curse of Babel.

Just ten minutes ago our member, Radweeky Bisiwasi Kaimaima left the church. He announced to me that his six year old nephew died. It’s not like a nephew in the U.S. This nephew was an orphan under Radweeky’s care, just as he is an orphan. The family had no money to buy a coffin for […]
With the Lord’s help and trusting in his direction, Beautiful Saviour, Blantyre, is making some rather significant plans. I believe the second half of 2008 will be marked with a significant event that will change the flow of the congregation.
