Greetings from Llongwe, Malawi


Hello Everyone,

We finally made it to Llongwe about 1pm on Friday and were met by Pastor Akim and Martha Chirwa and their son Titu and Pastor Owen Mkangawire.   Akim is one of Pastor Gary’s trustees for his ministry.  What a delight they have been. We spent much of today in their home as Kemp and Joseph Ogwang went to pick up the additional supplies we need to do the well; i.e. PVC pipe, steel pipe for tripod, and 1” square tubing.  Unfortunately, they did not have what all was needed and it won’t be available until next week.  So, we will travel about 1 ½ hours east of Llongwe tomorrow and start drilling as soon as tomorrow afternoon.  Someone will come back on Tuesday to pick up the remaining items needed.

Brother Joseph serves as the Kenyan Director of C-CADE and has done more than 13 wells since we started C-CADE back in 2010. I had him come to Malawi to help train the team.  Joseph is an awesome Man of God. 

Pastor Gary’s ministry is making a difference in many children’s lives.  Currently, the ministry is serving 400 meals a day to children that might not otherwise receive a decent meal for days. 

The weather is wonderful.  Warm with a real nice constant breeze blowing. 

Thanks for all of the prayers and words of encouragement.  Keep them coming.
