We are in Malawi just finishing up distribution to the elderly. The results of cyclone Freddy are devastating. Praise God none of the elderly were killed but many lost their homes. By the end of this month we will have three teams of builders working to build homes. One 92 year old man told us that God woke him in the middle of the night and told him to get out. Five minutes later his house was swept away by the flooding river.
God while we don’t understand yet we trust in you.
The people continue with joy in Him even though they have lost everything. We had grown men weeping when we arrived just because we had come.

We have started to rebuild the church that was flattened during the tornado in February. We are now building the walls double thickness so in the event of strong winds in the future there will be no fear of a collapse.

This is the escarpment up to Blantyre from the lower Shire. It is a nasty journey on a good day. This is what it looks like with all the rain they have had. Now the beautiful corn that was doing so well will rot or be washed away and from now until next April 2020 there will be famine in the country again

This is the main bridge into the south of Malawi where we are working. After the tornado went through there has been excessive rains. We have been trying to help wherever we can but we cannot rebuild destroyed homes of our elderly whose homes collapsed until the rain stops.
We desperately need a truck to haul building materials. A very good second hand truck is $20,000. Francis just managed to cross this river before it stared flooding over the top.

Two of the staff of alabaster graduated Bible School today. Peter with the big smile is one and behind him is his father who graduates from our Bible School in February. Next to Peter’s dad is Solomon who also graduated and next to him is his brother Francis who is the man who runs Alabaster Malawi.

The continuing progress of the church in Tengani. It may take time to get things started but when we do we move forward pretty fast. This in view of the fact there has been considerable rain in the area.

Windows and doors are in and it is almost up to roof level. Our one big problem is that we have to rent a truck to haul building materials. We need our own for that and for distribution of food and clothing to the elderly. A second hand 8 ton truck in very good condition will cost about $20,000.
