It seems that it has been a while since receiving an update
from Pastor Joseph, It is always a blessing to hear about the works in
progress. new pastor's, new church, new house, growing family, solar
power, so the well and lights can continue to work, and growing crops
throughout the year can resume.
I am leaving on April 8 for a month in Malawi. The
first two weeks will be with 5 men from Vonore Baptist church in Vonore
Tennessee. We will be doing an Easter service at Pastor Rackson's church in
Njuli that will be shown at Hiwasee College in Madisonville Tennessee. along
with Easter services from eight other locations around the world. All the
services will be in progress at the same time and displayed on separate
screens.
We will spend two nights ministering in Mozambique-About a
year ago men came from there to Pastor Rackson's house asking if he would come
and preach the word of God to them as there was no one there to do it. They had
seen Pastor Rackson in a TV interview as he was ministering at a hospital in
Blantyre Malawi at the previous Christmas. He said he would come and has been
somewhat limited in doing it because of the cost and time. It is about 8-10
hours to get there on very rough and difficult roads. Crossing the border also
has to be dealt with. Also, there is, at times,some unrest in Mozambique.
We will then travel to Ntcheu and minister in a two day
meeting of over a 1,000 people that will come from the area churches. We
will also be involved in soul winning and showing the Jesus film in the
villages.
After they leave I will stay for two weeks longer and work
with Pastor Joseph and teach at the Bible Institute that will be starting back
on May 2. Also, we will work on plans for starting a Christian school
there probably at the beginning of the next school year. I will also visit with
the 5 or 6 new pastors about the work and their needs..

Dear Praying partners,
Greetings from Malawi,the warm
heart of Africa.Thank you for your prayers support only eternity will tell the
full result of investment you have made into God's work here in Malawi.You have
a part in every person reached for Christ.We love you all.
We are so delighted with all
that God is doing through Bread of Life Ministries. God is constantly
developing and expanding the ministry.
We thank God for the fine weather during the teaching and revival meetings we conducted when the Bible Institute was not in operational. Many miles of the journey are over deeply potholed roads-made even more difficult by the wet conditions of the season to negotiate. Though it was in the middle of rainy season we found people in hundreds waiting for us,all hungry for more teaching.

Most of the time was spent
teaching,but door to door evangelistic time during the day and Jesus film show
during the night resulted in thousands accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and
Savior.We are privileged to witness a mighty harvest of souls.Using the
training we gave,the believers went out from house to house and with
great joy saw many people saved this way.
It is always very exciting when
believers choose to honor God,especially in obedience in baptism.You see,Malawi
is a very religious country,having religious fingerprints on almost every facet
of life. Many people we've talked to have some type of religion(mostly works
-based salvation). Many have also been baptized, without salvation at some
point in their lives.This makes it somewhat challenging when dealing with
people about baptism after salvation. Amidst the challenges,God allowed us to
see 221 people followed in believers baptism this past months.
We have been overwhelmed at how
God has provided over and over again.Our good God has provided a house for
us.We are still working on it, thanks so much for all your prayers,encouragement
and support. As always,we are aware that there is no way that we could continue
this work without you.
We also thank God for Amos
Kalekale he is the 2016 Bible Institute graduate.He has start a church at
Chimvuwu village.Chimvuwu is a village of huge spiritual contrasts.Witchcraft
continue to exist.On the other hand,God hand on the villages around Chimvuwu is
entirely evident.Amos Kalekale has taken this village to his heart.Since he
started the church 21 people have joined including one of the leaders of the
village.Remember him in your prayers as he will ministering to the remotest
villages.Three new churches have been started in the past months.There are many
things that the Lord has done that we cannot explain all of them here.
We also thank God for the
installation of the solar pump system at the Bible Institute and the
church.This will enable us to have water all the time.May God Almighty bless
all who prayed and supported this project in any way.
Prayer request:
Please pray for those who
listened that the seed of the gospel will germinate and bring forth regeneration.
More families to come and join
the church and be sure of salvation and want to save the Lord.
Tracts we give out will touch
hearts about salvation.
Once again thank you for your
support in love,prayers and financially.We cannot do this ministry God has
called us to without each of you doing that which God places on your hearts to
be co-laborers here in Malawi.May our good Lord remember the good labor you
have been doing.
In His service,
Joseph Maweta's family
