Sunday Drive to Eastern Malawi?
8th February 2026 I never considered that Malawi would have Eastern and Western regions. After all, it’s such a narrow country. But considering that it takes time to travel from east to west (such as from Salima to Lilongwe) it makes sense. Here’s a map of the region to give you an idea of Malawi’s…

Grand Plans
11th July 2024 The morning was nice and easy. There was time to read and think and pray and enjoy some quiet. There is “a time for every purpose under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). While there are certain things that come around that we always hope to avoid, difficult days do come. This was not one…

House on a Rock & Neighborhood on a Hill
9th July 2024 It was something Gracious had said yesterday as a few of us talked about the disparity between the number of single young men in the congregation and single young women to potentially marry. Besides the fact that there are quite a few more young men, these youth have grown up together and…
