Malawi 2014

It's been some time since I have blogged. This has mostly been because I have needed to sort some priorities out in terms of my leadership of the church, and so for these last while the blog has taken a back seat.

I leave on Friday for Malawi and I thought it would be good to write a bit about our plans for this trip. For some years Gibson Banda from Malawi worshipped with us and as I got to know him I discerned a deep love for Jesus and a desire to serve him. Gibson returned to Malawi and as we have continued to keep contact God has been pushing an idea into my mind about planting a church through Gibson.

On Friday I head up to Malawi to go and spend time with Gibson as well as hooking up with a number of other missionaries in the area to see what God may be doing with us in Malawi.There is always a call on the local church to take the gospel to the nations as we're reminded by Jesus in Acts:

'But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth'

So we're heading to the ends of the earth and we're trusting that Jesus is going to open some doors in this time and I'd ask for your prayers for safe travels and that the Holy Spirit would reveal to us what God's heart is for this. I am convinced that God puts people on our path for a reason and so we're simply following  what God puts before us in the hope that the church would grow and that God's kingdom would be extended.
