509 BAPTISMS FOR JUNE AND JULY IN MALAWI AND VENDA...WE GIVE GOD THE GLORY. READ JUNE REPORT TO GET THE FULL PICTURE.


MALAWI


Above shows some serious damage to our stage. As our team crossed from Tanzania into Malawi the roads got really bad. The stage somehow came open although it has a lock and is spring loaded. How it happened I don't know, but it did. It released itself and fell open and hit the road. It did some serious damage. How do you get it repaired in Malawi?? Well, we managed to get a brother in the area to do some cutting and pasting. Not a bad repair for being in the middle of nowhere. It is hard for me to explain what is happening in Africa. We are on the brink of even better things. The more we network and let the brethren in the different countries take control, the more success we are seeing. There are some fireballs out there. From next month we are going to just put photos, hundreds of them, because I believe a picture tells a thousand stories. Scroll down to our June report to see more regarding Malawi and Venda


Above shows one of the most motivated brothers in Africa. Brother Moster Kanyinji from Malawi. He has been a tremendous asset to GCM. Above shows some of the many gospel meetings that took place in Malawi. 419 in total were baptized in Malawi and 90 in Venda.


VENDA


Above shows Chariot 1 putting the tent up and getting ready for gospel meetings. This is done every week for 8 weeks. It takes a lot of work. There have been 90 baptisms in Venda in the last two months. The Venda brethren are very motivated and are a pleasure to work with. Brother Obrien Malindi is the leader who networks with all the sister congregations in the area. He is well respected and does a wonderful job. Above shows some of the leaders who work with him. The congregations all share the workload. Above also shows some of the baptisms. The Venda Bible School being built, should have the roof on by October or November. The building has taken so much longer than what we expected. We work on African time this side. I am looking forward to 2009. This is going to be fantastic having men trained up in Venda. We need help in Nelspruit. Who is going to help us? The brethren in Venda will. God is working through Venda.
