We leave for the Lake Malawi today. It's been pleasant staying with the Chilopora's at their home. We have visited here several times and always enjoy coming here. We feel very comfortable with them. This morning I was able to get Chiku's computer fixed. We pack up and head to the lake. The Chilopora's bring all their food with them. They also bring plenty for others. They are very generous people and God has blessed them for it. Because there is so much, Dr. Chilopora asks his nephew to driv...

Today is the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles and we have two services scheduled. We had breakfast at the Nkopola Lodge with Bill and Cheryl Jahns. It's quite windy on the lake, but absolutely beautiful. It's about a quarter mile walk from where we stay to the meeting hall and you need to walk right along the lakeshore which is public access. It's quite an experience seeing all the ladies and children doing their washing and laying the clothing out on the sandy beach. It's amazing to see...

Today I borrowed a bicycle from one of the staff at the hotel to go some exercise. It's not just a bike ride, it's an eyeful of local Malawi life. The area is predominantly Muslim. I pass mosque and mosque and madressa. The people are very peaceful and gentle Muslims and very friendly. The Catholic Church and the Muslims compete for the hearts of the people in this region. I biked about 20 miles and enjoyed seeing the sights of fields being worked up to be planted in anticipation of the rainy...

This is our last day at the Feast here in Malawi and saddens grips me. We love the Malawian people, they truly have the warm heart of Africa as the travel advertisements go. Bev and I have gotten into the personal lives of so many of the Malawi brethren and feel satisfaction in being providers of hope not only spiritually, but vocationally as well. We have taken at least ten application for livelihood development projects to consider and to fund before the beginning of the year. Most projects...

... here for 14 years. As well as running a rehabilitation centre she spends a lot of time visiting towns in the area where she finds children with disabilities such as cleft palate and club foot and brings them back to a doctor in Arusha that she trust to perform the surgery. She's brilliant at what she does, especially the way she communicated with the Tanzanian people and understands their culture, we would have been lost on the mobile clinic without her. She took us for ...

... appreciated the Church and LifeNets side of involving ourselves with these people. We have done about 30 scholarships here, a myriad of livelihood development projects that range from honey processing, a maize mill, poultry operation, little stores, sewing and knitting ventures and more. We have helped three clinics with virtually all their medicine. We are pleased generally how the projects have been in ...

... all. The bike is a size too small for me and I earlier mentioned that it has some "problems." Like no brakes and basically being stuck in one gear. Thankfully, it's not too low a gear. Church starts at 10:30 am. The women's choir sang. It seemed like most of the adult women in the congregation participated. They all wore a similar headpiece and skirt. Bev and Collette were among the ...

... heads with babies strapped to their backs. It's exciting! Church services start promptly at 10:30 am. Mr. Salawila has the sermonette and I have the sermon about the clarion call of the New Testament Church which is for repentance as we accept the Kingdom of God. In the afternoon we held a LifeNets board meeting. We have not yet registered LifeNets in Malawi, yet we do so much of our work here. Before ...

... That was the early morning news that greeted us. For Church today we viewed the Festival Video from the United Church of God. We're glad that we brought our projector as it makes viewing much more effective. Scott Lockwood's sermonette was excellent. He showed through three biblical examples of Noah, Lot and Moses how God fulfils what He promises and that He does it quickly. In the afternoon we had the Seniors Luncheon ...

... Diverson leads the way. The trip will take nearly five hours. Diverson took the four in the Lockwood family in the Land Rover and our ambulance took all the luggage for our two families and some things of Diverson's...including several 30 egg trays. The people here have gone all out for us helping us with transportation. Diverson arranged alternative transportation for his family to the Lake and there were some problems with that ...
