Ratter (Katoka) –The women’s
annual conference is to be held this year at Katoka
from 4th

travel and that the messages will be relevant and challenging to
those who attend. In addition, the Hospital administrator, owing to
embezzlement needs to be replaced. Prayer is asked for
wisdom in this that the person chosen will be a committed Christian,
able to stand firm and not be intimidated by the family of the
previous administrator.
MALAWI
 Stephen
Harper—Plans are presently underway to take a group of brethren
and sisters to Malawi in August for further Gospel work, and
we will value your prayers for this work. 10,000 bi-lingual
Seed Sower Scripture Texts have been printed and will
be distributed in a variety of locations, Lord willing. We know that
a large proportion of these will adorn the simple homes of many
Malawians for a long time, Lord willing, so please pray for a
real blessing upon God’s word.
Lord willing, we plan that three full
pallets (about 3.5 tons) of literature, including around 100,000
Gospel magazines and Scripture calendars together with a large
quantity of tracts will be sent in the near future, as we try to
improve our ability to meet the increasing demand for Gospel
literature in Malawi. Please pray for safe transit and the
Lord’s blessing upon His precious Word.

Graham and
Alison Black (Bouc Bel Air)
would value prayer for ‘The Voice of the Gospel’
ministry which consists of three main
avenues of service: radio programmes, Bible correspondence courses
and the printed page. Eight more radio stations have asked to
broadcast programmes and the number of people requesting the courses
are encouraging. They ask prayer for the different aspects of
the ministry to be used for God’s glory and that many hearts and
lives will be touched through them.
In addition,

technician’s wife) who was involved in a car accident with her twin

physiotherapy, and is home with the family.

him further about Christianity, showing what appeared to be a real
interest in who Jesus really is. He assured David that he
would be back with more questions once he had read the Gospel of
John. Please pray for ‘Gul’.
