This work began as a word from God into my heart. I believe this is just the beginning of many wonderful projects that will be accomplished by the Body of Christ. Making disciples of all nations (ethnic groups) is the Great Commission. Here, not only will disiples be made, but pastors will be trained in the new CTC to be held in this building, who will plant new churches and disciple more peoples. PTL!
The people are volunteering and working hard to accomplish this great task.
As you see, beautiful brick is being laed to house the worship and education center.
Soon this village will be a beacon to many other communities in Malawi and around the world.
Let's keep praying and believing for this wonderful work.
Pastor Howard is busy with building project. The Church building is coming together, one brick at a time.
It reminds of Nehemiah and the great group of Jews that returned to Jerusalem to rebuild the walls of the city. Those walls kept the enemies out. So, these walls will be place where people are set free to serve Jesus with all of their hearts.
Part o the process is baking their bricks. They mold them from special muds, then, burn them in the kiln til weather worthy. Please pray as they are up against the coming monsoon season. They are hoping to have it enclosed before the rain begins.
Monsoons are no joike and last for many weeks and months.
Thanks to our Missionary, Rev. Dick Christensen, and the great family of God in Malawi for this update. Pastor Howard is seen in front of the existing church. It was totally destroyed by the heavey recent rains. He is seen with bricks that have been cooked and are ready to construct a new 30x60 buildiing with cement floors and metal roof. Please keep him in your prayers.

More bricks! It will take many, many bricks to complete this new church building that will be used for worship, discipleship, community school, and a Christian Training Center to equip pastors, teachers, and workers in the ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you Koinonia Fellowship in Frewsburg, NY! God bless you!
May, 2023. Thanks to our Partners and a special gift from Koinonia Fellowship in Frewsurg, NY, we are under construction on Pastor Howard Phaiya's Church. Please pray with us as they laor to complete this facility that will move them from under the tree, to a place that will protect them from the coming rains! God bless you!
Pastor Rodney Kapichi and Rev C, are heading up our next church build in Malawi. Rev C sent this note:
Dear Rod, Here are 3 photos of a piece of land owned by Pastor Rodney Kapichi, a CTC graduate. He has about 40 members so far and needs a building. It is near a good road, not in the bush. Blessings!

We are continuing to need the funds to help Pastor Rodney. Your prayer are appreciated. God will supply the need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus our Lord!
Here is a picture of the site that Rev C referred to in his note, see previous, where our newest church build is happening! Your prayers for the funding of this project are greatly appreciated.

The Lord is with His people! Great Harvest is here! Praise His Name!
John 4:34Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. 35Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! 36And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”

Update and Report
1. Praise God! God has kept His Word to us! We have received a check from our friends at Koinonia Church in Frewsburg N. Y. to build the next church. Thank you, Pastor Ron Lemon, and congregation, for your faithfulness and generosity. God is using you to extend His Kingdom to the uttermost parts of the earth.
So, we are sending the finances to build this church in Malawi. Here is a recap of the details from RevC, our partner in ministry.
The Note from Rev C -
I want to talk with you about an opportunity in Malawi that involves a young pastor by the name of Howard Phaiya. He is a CTC graduate who went into the southern bush area to evangelize an unreached tribal people. He has planted a simple grass hut for a church, and many have come to faith in Christ. However, when the rains comes, they cannot have church as the rain comes through the roof. The church owns the land but needs help with a building. Here is a photo. They would need to build a 30x60' brick or block building with a cement floor and sheet metal roof. He is planning to open a CTC program once they have a decent meeting place.
2. Kathleen and I continue to share God’s Word over the internet on Saturday Nite LIVE at FiVE. Currently we are sharing on “Living in a Contrary Culture”, a study on the Book of Daniel. This informative and compelling Bible Study is being well received as it helps people understand the times we are living in, how God wants us to deal with those being influenced by the present culture of the world system, and to know what God will do in the future. For free notes and to view the video, just go to https://light4life.org/services-and-notes.
3. Worship and Praise – God continues to inspire me in the production of praise and worship music. We have two new songs of praise available for download.
Waves Lapping – A song reflecting on God’s constant provision for us, His Children. This upbeat and joyful song will lift your heart to the Lord and to those who you share it with.
The One Who Cared – A new anthem that shares the work of the Jesus Christ in the hearts of hippies during the “Jesus Movement”, a personal testimony and declaration of the goodness and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Table of Shewbread – a beautiful hymn praising our Lord Jesus for His High Priestly ministry to all believers on a daily and continuing basis. He is good to us to daily intercede for us, cleansing us, giving us our daily bread, and leading us in His ways.
These and others are available for download through our website for an offering of any amount. Here is the link where you can access this ministry.
4. Church and Outreach Services – Kathleen and I continue to be available to share in your church or outreach through music, testimony, and teaching of the Word of God. Please let us know how we can help you reach out to others with the love of Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. This is a long form text area designed for your content that you can fill up with as many words as your heart desires. You can write articles, long mission statements, company policies, executive profiles, company awards/distinctions, office locations, shareholder reports, whitepapers, media mentions and other pieces of content that don’t fit into a shorter, more succinct space.
Your support by prayer and giving, helps us to reach people around the world. God bless you for your love and generosity.
