and support.The work of our Lord in Malawi is going strong,and many are coming
to know the Lord.Your fervent prayers and sacrificial financial help are
bringing forth great results,and we are experiencing a real harvest of
souls.Let us keep rejoicing for what the Holy Spirit is doing to bring many
into the kingdom of God.
Once again the month of
February have been filled with plenty of things to do as well as watching God
prepare us and take care of our needs on the road.God is doing what only God
can do! Drawing people to Himself through faith in His son,the Lord Jesus Christ.The
Lord Jesus is building His church and what a privilege we have to be involved
in His mission.Thank you to all those who pray,encourage,support financially
and take a real interest in what God is doing through Bread of Life Baptist

REVIVAL CONFERENCE
 |
| Edna giving gospel tracts |
We had a three days
revival conference from 27 February to 1 March.As part of the conference we
organized soccer trophy between our soccer team and Zalengera soccer
club.Our main purpose was to spread the gospel to multitudes at a given
time.Meanwhile Malawi population is over 16 million people now and over 80% of
the inhabitants follow sports, chiefly soccer.Sports can also help in the
spread of the gospel.
In the evening we met to
rejoice over every "win' from the day.Sometimes the 'win' would be seeing
an individual confessing Jesus as their Lord and savior or one of our
members sharing the gospel for the first time.I remember Ellen being overcome
with excitement as she told us about praying with a handful of boys at the football
pitch to receive Jesus into their lives.Their tears showed the Holy Spirit's
conviction was very present.We had so much to cerebrate that day.Over 2500
gospel tracts were passing out to people.Many people prayed the sinners prayer.

I 'm so thankful to God
for giving our church members the opportunity to invest in His Kingdom.The
revival conference had a great impact on our lives and I was blessed to
experience it with them.The following day 31 people felt it was important to
publicly display an ordinance of God.We had a baptismal service where 31 people
were baptized.
MARRIAGE CONFERENCE
Where there is anything
that's designed,there is a designer.God, the mastermind,also has a plan for how
marriage works best.It was overwhelming to try and understand God's design and
plan for marital love because contracting and varying messages are
everywhere.As a result,many couples fall into the trap of looking everywhere
but to the Designer to find out what God intended for marriage.
With help we tapped into
the design that God has for marriage.We realized that marriage is created out
of divine order,is based on a covenant relationship,reflects our
relationship with God and truly has greater impact in our lives than many have
assumed.Hopefully,these realization helped us to experience a greater sense of
fulfillment and lifelong perspective for our marriage relationship.During the
marriage conference 86 families attended and when we were about to end the
conference ,I asked the men if they were ready and willing to sign the
Resolution promising they will care for their family,protect and serve them.To
be faithful to their wife,to love and honor her.
And you know what? 95%
of the 86 men realized that they had done wrong and needed
forgiveness.Then,signed the Resolution.What an awesome display of God's love
and grace they experienced during the meeting.
