Sunday in CHIRADUZULU

Sunday (17^th June) John Wilson, Doug and Diane, Amy and I had the privilege of joining with the beautiful people of Chiradzulu for their Chichewa Service. After some time along the Zomba Rd we travelled for 20mins along a winding dirt track, travelling at not much more than walking pace to avoid the pot hole.

It was an old historical village church, we were warmly greeted, on the team blog a post is written up, please read it.

CHIRADUZULU CHURCH BUILDING

I just want to add the best part we all received a chicken, to them it would have been a costly gift to give however they wanted to give us their greatest appreciation for our visit.

You can be called upon at any moment to pray, to do a reading to lead something, its quick liberating. I was called upon twice to say a prayer one before the service with the elders and Abusa the other to pray for the children after the children talk. It was such a lovely sight to see the children come to the front they came from everywhere and stood right up front, when ask if the children could sit down they couldn't because they were all so tightly squished to the front.

I was asked do the bible reading, thankfully not in chichawa, however I had the option given... maybe next time!

We were then invited to join the elders in the manse for a lunch, Amy noted that while we sat inside eating their finest food, the ladies who prepared had only had watered down porridge to eat, we felt bad however again they wanted to bless us and give us thanks for coming.

I would love to keep writing for there is so much to tell and I could go on for hours.. all I can say is in the last 5 days God is changing lives, not only mine or Amy's but everyone we meet. Its such a privilege to serve God, to be used by Him and to see Him work in ways I cant explain.

Your prayers are much appreciated and are bring heard... please continue to pray for myself and Amy this week as we start in the school ministries. We want to glorify God in everything we say and do, giving Him all the glory and praises!

Colossians 3v23-24 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as if working for God and not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving! AMEN!

Love Kylie and Amy
