This week's newsletter from Karen

And we’re off… 

On behalf of the Malawi Mission Team, I want to thank all of you who have supported us with prayer, finances, supplies, and encouragement.

On Sunday we took on the huge task of packing up the supplies we’ll be taking with us for the week we are serving the Zambezi Missionary Cluster. I watched this team work together, and was overwhelmed by their excitement, determination, dedication, enthusiasm, and love.

As I watched them working, this passage of Scripture came to my mind:

“All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.” (Acts 4:32-35, NIV)

Travelling, being away from family, being out of your comfort zone, time zone changes, no access to your normal comforts of home, dependence on technology, foreign language barriers, culture differences – these are just a few things that will challenge our team the next 10 days.
 
Please be in prayer with me that our team will continue to be “one in heart and mind” as we serve.
