We’re excited you’re here to follow our mission journey! Please remember to pray for God’s ministry in Malawi. A group of FBC Boerne Members is working with ministries and sharing the Gospel. They will be away from June 15 to 29. SUBSCRIBE below to get updates from this trip in your email.

The Malawi group left on Monday for a two-day journey to the landlocked country in southeastern Africa.

We had a wonderful welcome on Wednesday! About 20 women from the community welcomed us with song. It was BEAUTIFUL!

Today, we met the Divine mission staff and our translators, starting the day with team-building. Then we went to the market and prayed for the shop owners, and almost all welcomed the prayer. Then Lori led a lost sinner home! Praise Jesus!! It was a beautiful day, and prayers are already being answered!! God is so good!

Today, we had a full day of shopping for supplies for the upcoming week! A significant part of our shopping included Bibles. We received $2,267 in donations for this purpose, which translates to 7,030,000 Kwacha. With this amount, we were able to purchase 275 Bibles, which will be a tremendous blessing to the Malawian people!

While we were buying the Bibles, a young man approached us with questions about them. He was already a believer, and we had the opportunity to encourage him to share the message with others. We also shared the “3 Circles” method with him, along with some scripture for encouragement.

Later, we enjoyed a beautiful dinner with the Divine Ministry board.

We are also thrilled to announce that our water supply is back! Praise Jesus! Thank you all for your prayers—God has heard and answered them!

Today was such a good picture of God working all things for his glory! We heard a message from Craig at church this morning! It was wonderful!

And then we had a candlelight service in Masinga for the first time ever, and God moved!! We had multiple people give their lives to Jesus!!!!! 👏👏 Many of them will be baptized on Friday!! Many people also came up for prayer! It was a beautiful moment!! God is so good! And he is doing something big in Masinja village 🇲🇼🤟

Some prayer requests, please ……

We hit the ground running on Monday, and everyone did such a beautiful job of jumping in with both feet!! We are doing dentistry, 4 fields, teaching with the men, building a fence, and playing with the kiddos. Lori and Heather finished the first 2 fields! Craig taught a group of men. Clyde and Bette checked about 70 kids in one day! And the sweet kids sat and listened to the whole Gospel and then 5 other stories from the Bible. God has been so good, multiplying our time and resources more times than we can count.

We had the same things going on. God again multiplied Lori and Heather’s time, and they were able to finish all 4 fields! Praise God! Craig shared a message with the men again today and then preached to the chiefs. He talked about coming to God and about what you’re clinging to: your crutch or the cross. It was a powerful message that everyone should hear, especially the community’s leaders. The team was gifted 2 large bags full of ties. Turns out, it was exactly the number of ties we needed to give every chief a present. We’ve come to understand that a tie is a very honorable gift. God has been so good in everything!

Wednesday–Friday, June 25–27

The final three days in community were a beautiful picture of what God can do when He shows up.

Heather and Lori continued teaching four fields — this time to about 35 men — and God kept multiplying their time. The dentistry team nearly doubled their patient count each day and somehow finished the week with supplies to spare. Men, women, youth, and children continued hearing the Gospel and Bible stories every single day, and their hunger for God’s Word never faded.

Friday brought the moment the whole trip was building toward. The team led an example church service structured around nine elements of a healthy church — and most of it was led by community members. Then came baptisms: 41 people. And in the most beautiful moment of the entire week, the newly baptized turned around and immediately began baptizing others.

The goodbyes were hard. But the team was reminded that hard goodbyes mean real relationships were built. They hope to return to Masinja village next year.

God is moving there. It has been a blessing beyond words to play even a small part in it.

How to Pray

God is good — all the time. Thank you for your prayers and support. We love you, church family.
