Ministry Launch

We were awakened this morning by a cool breeze, misty clouds, and the unmistakable sound of a rooster’s crow. There is nothing quite like an early morning in Malawi.

Today we launched our ministry efforts by diving headlong into our Kids Kamp. This year’s Kids Kamp was designed to be a one day Vacation Bible School for the 250 children of our orphanage and day school. Working alongside our Malawian orphanage and day school staff, our team provided the games, music, crafts, and Bible lesson for the day. In addition, we had the joy of serving each child a hearty lunch of rice, beans, and chicken. Working alongside the orphanage and day school staff also proved to be a great delight. We thank God for the opportunity to minister to these children today.

Jared Keiffer began his work with our Pastors’ Bible School students today. The students are comprised of young men who have been called by God to be great preachers of His Word, good shepherds of His people, and bold messengers of the Gospel. In short, they have been called to be pastors. Jared spent today and will spend the next two days training our students for their future ministry with FLM Africa churches. The students were thrilled with Jared’s teaching today and are looking forward to great things in the days ahead.

We concluded our day by holding a church service in the FLM Africa church in Nkolokoti village. This is the first and largest of our FLM Africa churches. The service launched with exuberant worship from our Malawian brothers and sisters. From there the team shared in song, drama, and testimony. Craig Peters closed the service with a powerful message that challenged and encouraged the heart of the people.

Tomorrow we travel to Zomba to share the Gospel in the rural villages and hold an outreach service alongside one of our FLM Africa churches. Pray that many will come to Christ.
