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.”

Leanne and Jim’s visit

In relation to the photo of the pastors, they are from left to right:- Kestina, Steven, Julius, Hassan, Kennedy, Biston. Hope that clarifies who they are.

We met up with the Pastors on Saturday 13 September, we spent approx, 11/2 hours with them. In that time we got to know a little more about them. 

They really have a heart to fulfil the great Commission as spoken of in Matthew 28:19-20. They really do have tough areas to preach in Both economically and religiously. 

Although it is said that Malawi is 80% Christian that includes faiths like Catholicism, Lutheran Anglican and such, 10% Jehovah Witness and the remaining 10% other. 

We spoke about their needs of their church life and they all need permanent buildings to meet in each week thus cutting paying rent on classrooms and the likes, they are also in need of Bibles in their own dialects(languages) and keyboards and other musical instruments.We concluded our meeting with a time of prayer. 

Two days after meeting the Pastors we met up with Steven and his oldest son Blessings, this gave us the opportunity to speak further with Steven about the work he is doing, Blessings is a Sunday School teacher to the younger ages. 

Hope this is helpful and in line with what you were wanting. 

Blessings

News from Pastor Steven

Dear Christian Sisters,

I thank the lord for all the effort you put for Eagle Wings. We kneel down each day for each one of you including the mission team, Moore Park Church and all who pray for Eagle Wings. The Church is growing as you can see on photos some of the special functions I and my wife are sharing with the Church. My wife is glad she has more women now because of some of the activities she is teaching them. Sometimes we invite them to our home and sometimes we arrange Church Fellowship on meals. I have baptized 18 members this last months and I have also done some training for Church leaders. Six other families have been won through door to door.

I have visited prison for two separate occasions. We usually pray for prisoners especially when we find that the number increases. We also visit the hospital at lunch hour and in the morning for devotions. God is doing a lot during these times. One activity photo has been repeated by mistake. I suggest we three meet in Lilongwe.

May God bless you all in Christ,

 

Pastor Steven
