The Gospel Keeps Moving Forward

Getting around Malawi in the rainy season is challenging no matter what mode of transportation you use

You can’t believe how bad the roads are in Malawi during the rainy season until you drive them yourself.

My first attempt to deliver books to Pastor Chumba was a fiasco. I have no one to blame but myself. My first mistake was to drive alone. With only Google maps to guide me, I lost my way near the town of Migowi. I turned onto the first eastbound road, unpaved like the majority of roads in rural Malawi. I soon met up with a trio of women warning me about “matope, matope” (mud). The fields on either side of the narrow track were waterlogged, so how was I supposed to execute a Y-turn? I kept moving forward.

Faithful Servant of God

“Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give you a crown of life” (Revelation 2:10)

I heard my pastor say those words many times, specifically after he blessed a new confirmand. A good reminder of the confirmands promise to stay faithful to the word of God, even to the point of death.

“Faithful”….that is a word that comes of mind to describe Pastor George Mpule, who was my pastor for 11 years in Ndola, Zambia. During times of growth, prosperity and joy in his church, he was faithful. During times of difficulty, suffering and struggle, he was faithful then too. His life is proof of that…
