Dear friends of Malawi,

Last week, we let you know of a need for New Testaments to distribute in Malawi. We also informed you of a matching gift that was given to us to double any gifts we received to a maximum of $10,000. In the meantime, we have received another gift to be used as a “matching gift”. Praise God!

I know that there are some of you out there who would like to see your donations doubled. This is the time to do that! Our goal exceeds the limit of the matching funds, but we also know that God knows what we need, and He will provide for all our needs. One of our slogans for the Malawi discipleship work is, “Doing God’s work, God’s way, will never lack God’s supply”. So far, God has never let us down. We know that it is His desire to reach the lost – even in Malawi.

The New Testaments are a great tool in reaching the lost. The Malawians love to receive free gifts (as do most of us 😉). They are promised a NT when they complete the first 4 lessons in discipleship. Lesson one is the expanded gospel presentation. It is during this lesson that many who are not yet born again come to salvation – putting their faith in Jesus Christ. They begin to appreciate the value of the New Testament and look forward to completing the 4 lessons so they can get their own. What a thrill for them to own their very own New Testament – something they would never have been able to purchase on their own.

Poverty is a very real thing in Malawi. Many do not know where their next meal is going to come from. When they accept the free gift of salvation, they are also set free from the fears that they have – fear of not having food to eat, fear of sickness, fear of the witch doctors harming them, etc. But now, best of all, the fear of death is removed since they learn about eternal life in Christ. I can’t begin to explain how blessed we are! We look forward to standing beside all those Malawian believers in heaven. Not that we are out there discipling or reaching the lost.

We are here in Canada, having zoom meetings with our Team and encouraging them in the work that they do. We are partners with them – but wait! So are you! Without the help of your finances, this work cannot be done. Together we make a Team; together we reach the lost. Just that we all have a different role to play. We are not all evangelist, or teachers, or administrators, etc., but we need to ask ourselves, can I be a giver? … A partner by donating funds to help those that are out there evangelizing and teaching?

When you send in your donation, please indicate that it is for the Malawi New Testament matching project. The best way to donate is by e-transfer (to dcioffice@shaw.ca), Canada Helps or by cheque to Dynamic Churches international, 164 Stonegate Close, Airdrie, AB T4B 2V2.

Thank you for your help in reaching the Malawian people for Christ.
