Safe and Sound in Lilongwe!



Ndili Bwino! (I (we) are well!)




Just wanted to give everyone a quick update that we have made it to Lilongwe, Malawi. Getting out of Ethiopia seemed to be a bit tougher than first anticipated. A shuttle bus was scheduled to pick us up at our hotel at 6:30am for our 9:30am flight. We were up and ready to go...and waited...and waited...and called...and waited...at about 8am, we finally decided to flag down a few cabs for an exhilirating crazy ride through downtown! Our flight was great, and we met Danny, Lindy, Pastor Dan, Pastor Kenneth, and Christiano at the airport. Of course, we had some troubles getting through customs with our 13 bags full of all our goodies, but Pastor Dan came in and sweet talked our way through with some help of the Holy Spirit :). Also, praise God that ALL of our bags came through without a scratch on them!



We were going to try and head to the Missions Base in Mozambique, but will not make it tonight due to the border closing time. So, we will hang in Malawi, fellowship with our new friends, try and learn the Chichewan language, and rest up for our journey in the morning!




Zikomo (THANK YOU!) for all your prayers and support! Ambu-yay Akudaditzeni (God Bless You!) By the way, that is NOT the way it is spelled, just how it sounds/looks in the English language!

Praise God for how He has paved the way for His servants. May He continue to protect you, bless you, and work mightily through you all.

Hi all,
The blog is great. Know that we are praying for you. Four of us met to pray for you last Fri and actually got to lay hands on the speakers and pray for them as well. Praise God that you and all the stuff made it.
2 Scriptures I read tonight while praying for y'all: IS 2:2, Heb 12:18-24.
Love, Jean :))))
