Ministry in Malawi

Dear praying friends, please join us in praying for the network we will be serving in Blantyre, Malawi for the next week (I leave Monday morning.) I will include some of the details and some prayer requests.

Malawi network I trained a year ago
Overview: Eric and training partner Randy will offer Pathways workshop #4 to an established network in Blantyre, Malawi.
Dates: November 11-18
Itinerary:
Nov. 11-13 – Travel to and work with Malawi leaders to prep for training.
Nov. 14-16 – Train 16 master trainers in workshop #4 (Genesis).
Nov. 17-18 – Return home.
Prayer items:
  • Please pray for the 16 master trainers from central and southern Malawi to be well prepared and ready to engage in the training.
  • Pray that Eric and Randy will work well with local coordinators (Edwin and Rabson), equipping the entire network to use and reproduce principles.
  • Pray for wisdom as network leadership discusses options for future trainings.
  • Pray for all to go well on the homefront while Eric is away.

In addition, I received this prayer request from coordinator Rabson:

The current situation in malawi: There is extreme and severe hunger now, and Malawi was in May declared a state of Famine disaster.
Many people are going to bed with empty stomach, some surviving on wild tubers.
Our church members, relatives or even some participants in the training are not spared from this tragedy. As you pray for this trip, please pray for Malawi on this and on increased suicide cases.
