First picture is of Bishop Disi and his wife as he addresses the Conference after being elected, second is of the Conference where people don't mind sitting of the new concrete floor, which is covered by a layer of sand to help with curing, third & fourth are scenes of the front section of the ministry center not yet finished. Greetings from Canada. A few days after Conference Lori and I flew home after our one year term of service concluded in Malawi. It was a great time there and the climax was attending and participating in the annual meeting of the BIC Church of Malawi the first weekend of August. Over 400 people gathered on the campus for the three conference settings: Youth, Women's and the General Conference. Two big tents and one small one were erected to help provide shelter and accommodations. The Conference went very well and one of the highlights was the election of a new Bishop which turned out to be Rev. Ephraim Disi. There was great joy and celebration when his name was announced. Please pray for this time of transition and adjustment as this new leadership framework comes into play.
As to the site and the project a few of the pictures show the progress. The slab floor is nearly done and it provided a great solid base for the big top tent to be set up on for the Conference. Many bags of maize came along with the people to Conference to help support the effort. As more funds become available the floor will be completed and then the building of the walls will occur. People were glad to come to Maone to see the progress. To those who have supported the project so far, on behalf of the BIC Church in Malawi, a big thank you. We look forward to providing more reports of continued success in seeing this building raised up.
