EVERY MORNING WE STARTED THE DAY WITH DEVOTIONS. WE WERE REMINDED TO BE GOOD TO OTHER PEOPLE EVERYDAY – TO PUT GOD IN CONTROL AND TO FIRST PRAY AND THEN PLAN! (2 CORINTHIANS 1- V 4-5).
WILHELM ELS AND HIS FRIEND GEORGE ARRIVED AT CHANDAME. WILHELM WAS TEACHING “FARMING GOD’S WAY” AND GEORGE CAME FOR AN INTERVIEW FOR A JOB IN TETE. WE DROVE GOERGE THERE AND JANNIE FETCHED SUPPLIES FOR DRILLING (WATER). GEORGE HELPED JANNE TO FINISH THE BOREHOLE AT NGADZI.
A MIRACLE HAPPENED, WHICH WE WOULD LIKE TO SHARE. A BOY NAMED DIAGO, 11 YEARS OLD, CAME FOR MEDICINE ON A WEDNESDAY WITH STOMACH PROBLEMS. I GAVE HIM SOME TABLETS TO TREAT WORM INFECTIONS AS WELL AS PANADOS. THE NEXT DAY THE MOTHER CAME BACK WITH HIM STILL SICK. THIS TIME WE PUT HIM ON MALARIA MEDICATION, BUT AGAIN, JUST THE NEXT DAY, THE MOTHER CAME BACK. THE BOY NOW HAD BLOOD IN HIS URINE!! WE TOLD HER TO HAVE HIM FINISH HIS MALARIA MEDICATION AND STARTED PRAYING FOR THE BOY. WE ALSO GAVE HIS NAME TO FRIENDS IN SOUTH AFRICA WHO HELPED PRAYING. THURSDAY NIGHT I (SUSAN) STARTED TO READ MATHEW 8 ABOUT ALL THE MIRACLES JESUS HAD DONE. THE NEXT MORNING AT HALF PAST 8 I SENT THE PASTOR TO CHECK ON THE BOY – HE WAS BETTER WITHIN 5 DAYS! TRULY A MIRACLE – PRAISE THE LORD! THERE IS GREAT POWER IN PRAYER!!!
ON THE 6TH OF APRIL WE WENT THROUGH THE BORDER TO HAVE OUR PERMITS STAMPED. WE SLEPT OVER AT LOUISE LAUBSCHER IN LILONGWE, AND DID SOME SHOPPING THERE. WE ALSO BOUGHT MORE MEDICINES FOR THE CLINIC IN CHANDAME.
WE ARE ALMOST FINISHED PLASTERING THE CLINIC ON THE INSIDE. AFTER THE PLASTERING IS FINISHED, WE HAVE TO DO THE WOODWORK (SHELVES, CUPBOARDS ETC). WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE CLINIC, AND BELIEVE IT WILL BE A GREAT ASSET FOR CHANDAME COMMUNITY!
FOR NECESSARY FUNDS, JANNIE STARTED TO TRANSPORT TOBACCO FOR MLT (MOZAMBIQUAN LEAF TOBACCO) WITH THE TRACTOR AND TRAILOR. HE ALSO HELPED THE LOCAL COMMUNITY TO TRANSPORT THEIR MAIZE FROM THEIR GARDENS TO THEIR HOUSES.
EVERY SUNDAY WE TOOK PASTOR AND SOME ELDERS TO ONE OF THE PRAYERSHOUSES FOR PREACHING, BAPTISM, HOLY COMMUNION ETC. AFTERWARDS WE JOINED THE PEOPLE FOR SUPPER, WHICH CONSISTED OF MAIZE, BEANS, CHICKEN, GOAT, POTATOES, AND GREEN VEGETABLES.
AT THE END OF APRIL WE WENT TO KACHETE, A PRAYERHOUSE AT TEMBA. THERE WE READ JAMES 3 VERSE 1-12, TELLING US THAT WE ARE FAR FROM GOD BECAUSE OF OUR TONGUE. IT WAS TIME TO LISTEN TO GOD MORE!!!!
EVERY MORNING WHEN WE WAKE UP AT CHANDAME, WE CAN FEEL THE PRESENCE OF THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.GOD BLESS EVERYONE THAT READ OUR WEBSITE. WE END THIS UPDATE WITH PSALMS 34.
MANY BLESSINGS
JANNIE & SUSAN
PS: PLEASE REMEMBER TO KEEP PRAYING FOR US!!!
