During his visit we are seeing a great change
This evening we were able to meet the backslider and after talking with them they have turned to the truth and they have come back to the church
Best regards

Evangelist Ochieng sent the following related report (and the last picture above, so I did not repeat it here):

Pastor Dr Bob,

Greetings from Malawi.
I’ve been sending letters and there is no network for the last 5 days. I was in Jenjete on Wednesday last week after that I met Chiringa congregations on Friday and in the evening I was on a visitation tour. I met Blessings and we took almost 6 hours talking. Blessings is back in the church with wasi whom I met at molozwa’s home. They are very happy and on Sabbath we were together with them in Sunuzi where I kept Sabbath.
Yesterday after services I met with sayenda and Abakhole who were in the church before and left. My visitation in Malawi is very successful. Only sayenda who went back to pastor church of Christ who are keeping Sunday. I will have more baptism this week. I will do baptism in migowi and cheleka then lastly I will do baptism in SALIMA.
Today the weather is good and for the last five days it was very poor cold. I have a photo with The teacher Blessings and wasi. Below is the picture

Here are reports about a visit to another congregation in Malawi:

Pastor Dr Bob,

Greetings from Malawi.
I met kachingwa congregation today. The meeting was very good. They have already build a hall and molozwa provided the iron sheets. They were only wanted round poles for roofing. I need that to be finished when I’m still here. This are good people. Tomorrow I’ll have leaders meeting in migowi.

Evans.

Dear Dr Bob

Greetings from Malawi church
We are all fine by the grace of God
Today we had a visit to kachingwe congregation and it was a wonderful trip loaded with blessings and the brethren were so happy to receive the message
Pastor let me report that the coming of pastor Evans to Malawi has brought renewal in all congregation
Tomorrow we are meeting all the leaders at migowi both Malawi and Mozambique
Best regards
Radson

Here is another report:

Greetings from Malawi

Today we had a leader meeting both Malawi and Mozambique at our church Hall in migowi. The meeting went well and after the meeting am having call everywhere about it
Pastor Evans talked much on leadership and it’s qualities from the book of Timothy and Titus.
Every leader come to the meeting with his wife
Pastor there is a big growth in the work of God
Tomorrow we going to chileka for baptism
Pastor Dr Bob let me make a correction that the time a send the membership for Malawi and Mozambique I just counted adults only so pastor Evans told me to calculate together with youth and children.
Now three {more} congregation has been born in Mozambique , Mkwamba.
The total membership has reached to {almost} 3000
We thank God for your prayers and help and God is many door for the gospel and I will never neglect any door
Best regards
Radson

Please continue to pray for the success of this trip. God has been calling many (cf. John 6:44). Relatively few of those in Malawi or Mozambique have a Church of God background, and I would tend to categorize many of them as congregants as we do not consider unbaptized people, including children, as members per se (though when people speak of church membership, total congregants is what they really mean).

Pastor let me report that since the time pastor Evans come to Malawi and appointed Deacon James,. Wahela  and machemba the work of God has moved faster and still God is opening more doors.
Dr Bob let me say that there is a great need for the brethren to pray so that these places can be visit especially in Mozambique before the feast of Tabernacle and encourage the brethren
Today we visited chileka for baptism and it was a wonderful trip though the road was very bad
Best regards
Pastor radson

This a fantastic growth.

Gentiles are being reached.

Please continue to pray for the success of this trip to Malawi and that a future one can be made soon to Mozambique. God has been calling many (cf. John 6:44). Relatively few of those in Malawi or Mozambique have a Church of God background, and I would tend to categorize many of them as congregants as we do not consider unbaptized people, including children, as members per se (though when people speak of church membership, total congregants is what they really mean).
