MALAWI

Stephen and Gail Harper (Thondwe) recently contacted a couple of local schools to seek permission to distribute Gospels and New Testaments to the pupils. So far, the headmasters concerned have been receptive to this idea, so they hope to begin distributing these materials very soon. Pray that the Lord will bless His Word and that there will be lasting fruit.
