Papalala Za Ongwala (the wings of the Eagle)

All of the proceeds from the sale of Shirley's paintings go to the Eagle Wings Christian Family. Eagle Wings is Chiomba Nkhanga  in Chchewa.  Eagle Wings is made up of a very small group of Christians, who support five local Malawian missionaries and their families in their work. Eagle Wings is not a charity organisation, instead it aims to help Malawians to become self sufficient. https://www.facebook.com/wingsofmalawi/

Isaiah 40:31 “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint.”

Giving to NSANJE FLOODS

Donations for flooded villages.

Latest news from Pastor Juluis. Febuary 2015.  

About flood funds you sent to me i have used all and i finished that work yesterday and this time around i was at Khuluvi camp where there are over three thousand flood victims.

I am sending the photos so that you should see and so that you can show the well-wishers who has helped us.

On that trip i had ten bails that contained clothes for all ages, two cartons of pots, and five hundred plates, fifteen bags of maize flour, each bag was weighing fifty kilogram.

 

 

Following the work that i have done in all the three camps namely Khuluvi,Mankhokwe and Marka, the leaders of the three camps have asked me to preach the word of God but the challenge i have now is that two camps namely Mankhokwe and Marka camps are very far from where i stay but i will manage to travel to one camp that is Khuluvi camp.And at Khuluvi and Mankhokwe there is no Baptist Church and this is the opportunity to open new branches of Baptist Church. To travel from where i stay to Marka or Mankhokwe its bicycle fare is three thousand kwacha per person and the bicycle i have is not in good condition to travel such a long distance.

Pray for me because on this Saturday i will start preaching at Khuluvi camp and its a hard time which people have met in their lifetime because up to now people are still crying for their relative who died because of the floods. I will go there to give them the word of hope.

Lastly, i want to thank you for your prayers and support in the very hard situation we have encountered here in Nsanje. And God bless abundantly.

Your brother in Christ 


Pastor Julius

Flood Report From Pastor Julius

The Floods in Malawi

The story floods in Malawi has shaken the economy of the country and put the nation at silent.

It is like that because the economy of Malawi relies on Agriculture, so due to this type of floods people will have no food and money just because people in Malawi get money after selling their produce.

SOME OF THE AREAS AFFECTED

Education:  Most of the schools are closed due to the floods; some of the teachers have also lost their lives. Some school children also lost their lives.

In addition to that some schools have closed because the government wanted to accommodate the floods victims.

Health:

In part of Health Most of the health centres particularly in  the affected ares are also closed which makes some health centres to be conjested because of people from the affected ares.

Roads:

Some roads are blocked due to floods which also makes it difficult for the help to reach out to people in the affected areas.

Development:

All the development projects which were planned are now stopped with the floods, it is like that because the government is using a lot of money to assist the flood victims.

so we have lots of areas affected by the floods but I have just mentioned a few

Districts Affected By Floods.

almost all district affected by floods in Malawi,but there are major districts affected very seriously mainly Nsanje, Chikwawa, Zomba,part of Blantyre, Lilongwe, Salima, Phalombe.  

But out of these 7 districts, Nsanje is taken to be the first district being affected with floods just because the water coming from all the affected districts are ending in Nsanje District.

at the mean time 85 thousand people are displaced by floods.

NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO DIED

At the moment, 185 people died in Nsanje district alone, 35 people were from Nyachikadza and Ndamera, and 150 were from Nsanje North.

NUMBER OF FLOOD VICTIMS FROM NYACHIKADZA

About 45,000 people were displaced in Nyachikadza and it is about 900 affected with floods. 

REQUEST

ü Pray for the victims, some of them are Baptist member mainly from Bangula. The church has been taken away by water, and members houses are also gone with their properties.

ü Other church affected is Marka, their houses and properties are as well gone.

We thank God that among our members affected, we haven’t lost any life.  

But pray for the other families as well which have lost their beloved due to the floods.

Your brother in Christ

WHAT THE FIVE PASTORS ARE DOING by Shirley Charlton

Moni Tsalni Bwino

All of the Pastors we support plant new churches, follow up on new Christians, teach and preach. They go to Prisons to share clothes and soap, as well as the gospel. They also go to the hospitals in their areas and share their food with patients, as no food is provided in these two places. When people ask why they do this, they tell them about the love of Jesus. It is not unusual for 8 to 18 people to come to faith after the Pastors have visited these places. I know all of them are flat out keeping up with new believers.

They share the gospel. Every one of the five have been chosen with lots of recommendations and care that they follow the teachings and are Preachers. Apart from Hassan, who never finished his studies and has gone back to Bible College (Baptist) this year to finish. We have had people going over to Malawi and encouraging them and all the visitors have been impressed by the work they are doing.

Pastors also look after the widows in their villages, sometimes re-roofing the straw roofs of their huts, or buying seed for them. The seed alows them to support themselves by selling vegetables in the Markets.

Our Pastors adopt orphans into their already large families. They have all bought and distributed Bibles from the small amount they receive from us ($120 per month). Please bare in mind that all the Pastors go from village to village, sometimes walking for hours and most of the village Christians cannot read, not even in their tribal language. We supplied bicycles to the first three Pastors, but we have not had enough to give a bicycle to Biston or Kennedy yet.

All the Pastors come under their own Churches and are answerable to do the Lords work.

 

 

 the other problem here in Lilongwe is that on 2 January, 2015, we had heavy rains and wind. many houses were destroyed with that rains and some people affected are our members. So about the Bible's plans,you can do it later because people needs to be supported. We know that we will have so many problems to face this year and we need your prayers. What Mr. Julius said earlier on is very important because they will help us to do something to the people.
I have the pictures but because of power problems here, i just came to see if the bureaus are working. I will send them to you later to see what is happening. I am so happy because many people are drawing close to Jesus and they still need to be encouraged in all areas. I thank you even though i take some time to send messages but am currently free so i will send messages in time because i have more time. the busy i had about school, now am free. Thank you.My God bless you, all of you. 
We thank you for your consideration in all things. we are together. thank you.
