Once again these past few months have been filled with plenty of things to do as well as watching God prepare us for the ministry here in Malawi.I am so sorry for not getting back to you sooner.The word that seems to best describe our life and situation is"overwhelming". The task of teaching, funeral and street preaching, passing out tracts,starting new churches,train national pastors,showing Jesus film,encouraging orphans and widows etc. seems so overwhelming.The task ahead of us in the ministry seems equally overwhelming. God has placed a great burden upon me to train my fellow national pastors and I believe that He has been preparing me for a time such as this,but the task is just so large and so complicated. It would be easy to be overcome with the weight and the burden,but I have been reminded recently through my bible study that God too has overwhelming met every need that we have ever had, and although I am weak, He is strong.  Although it is a rain season here in Malawi, 186 new believers had an opportunity to get baptized. 3 churches have been started and we have witnessed more than two thousands people accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. Please pray for the new believers I want to see them grow in their faith and eventually become disciple makers for Christ. Continue to pray for the people of Malawi that God may open all doors and give wisdom to me to go through them according to His will and time.Sad to say;The Muslim have built a decent mosque and are constructing a school block just 200 meters from my house. Every fortnight are giving handout of food stuffs and clothes to people around our area, in order to invite them to join their religion which it leads to two-fold children of the devil. May you please pray for our area. I thank God for the good health of my wife and all the children.We are receiving good rains this year and I hope we will have a good harvest this year. Brother Harry Schenimann from Stoney Mountain Baptist church,NC who has been a great blessing to the ministry in Malawi for many years is coming this coming summer. May you consider coming with him and I promise you that your visit will change your life for the better and your life will not be the same because you"ll witness the first hand for yourselves what our good God is doing through us. If God is directing you to come or help in any way please let us know so that we can give you more information.
Please pray for the following;
1. Chichewa bibles for new believers.They are willing to learn more about God but they are limited they can't afford to buy one because of poverty.
2. The Church building and Bible institute.I thank you all for all you've done to help me and the people of Malawi.
Unfortunately words fail to express my gratitude for you and all you've done.May God greatly bless you. Stay blessed, Joseph Maweta family
