These men have temporarily replaced the absent leaders in Nsanje and recently met with John for a couple of days teaching 

Many of the churches in the Nsanje region in the south of Malawi have lost their leaders in recent months. This is due to them leaving for South Africa in search of work. The new leaders really do need our prayers. The problem of hunger has become acute in the country. The poor harvest combined with the devastation of the floods at the beginning of 2023 have caused most village people not to have any food in their homes. Literally!

The Church of the Disciples of Jesus (CDJ) started distributing maize aid to the neediest people in their churches just before Christmas. With so many churches this was a massive effort. In the course of 2023 SaltMalawi has given £30,000 to CDJ to enable them to buy maize when it has been available in anticipation of this situation. Thank you to those of you who have helped to make this possible. Please pray for God's protection over the team who will be serving in this manner and the maize that has been stored in preparation for this exercise.
