Returning to Malawi

Jose and I will be leaving the US on June 22 for about 10 weeks in Malawi. We have been blessed by some very generous folks for monetary donations and donations of medical supplies. We have a scribe, Micheal, who will be joining us in mid July for about 10 days. Then Katie (scribe from last year) and her Mom, a physical therapist, will come for about 2 weeks. We are hoping to not only volunteer at the ABC community clinic, but also to help Anne with the new clinic in the Salima area, the Pothawira project. Not to mention clinics for some of the COTN orphans and other villages. Pray that we can also be involved in at least a one time prison clinic, along with a visit / clinic to an Assembly of God girls school. If any of you are interested in donating, you can contact me directly, or you can donate to me via African Bible College, PO Box 103, Clinton, MS, 39060. Just put my name on the memo line. If you are unable to donate, please keep us in your prayers! We are busily preparing to leave, trying to figure out how to pack medical supplies! The recession, coupled with the increased gas prices, has hit everyone - many of the missionaries have lost support, the prices of food and gasoline has risen dramatically in Malawi, the poor of the world are getting poorer. We hope to bring some small amount of comfort, to show the poorest of these that they are not forgotten by the rest of the world, to shine the light of Jesus into some of the darkest places on the planet. Plus, we hope to offer support and fellowship to the awesome missionaries in Malawi, many of them working with reduced funds and feeling like they have been forgotten, too. Pray for us! Watch this blog for updates as our trip starts on June 22. Blessings to you all
