Malawi Bound in 3 Days!

On July 25, Pastor (Abusa) Kelly, Lizzie Franz, Kathleen Radtke, Heidi Speakman, Selise Miller begin their journey to Malawi.

While in Mponela they will make bricks for the parish center and do some plaster work on another church in the parish. They will also have the opportunity to have a couple of bible studies with the adults and five bible studies with the children.

The team will worship in Mponela on August 3.  They will also dedicate the feeding center which was a joint effort between Habitat For Humanity, Thrivent Builds, and the ELCM.  The borehole well, which was provided by St. Philip, will also be dedicated.  The second week of the trip will be spent traveling to different villages to share bible studies and other experiences with other congregations, a day on a safari, a chance to help feed 150 children at a feeding center, and a day of worship in Lilongwe.  The team will leave Malawi on August 11, arriving back in Roanoke on August 12.

Thank you to everyone that donated health kit items, money for health kit items we will buy there ($95 was collected at the June noisy offering), and money for the two extra totes of supplies.

Please keep the team, their families, and the people of Malawi in your prayers.  This is a wonderful opportunity as a church and community to strengthen our relationships with our brothers and sisters in Malawi.
