HopeHome Feeds 60 Orphans

Brother Michael,

Sweet regards. Last month we had a more wonderful and awesome picnic with 60 children in attendance their faces beaming with joy and hope. To add more flavor we had 22 foster parents in attendance. We meant to engage them in prayer as a key factor to working out the future of the OVC. We woo them to Christ by this grand fellowship.

Allow me to make some highlights

1. Our hope home group is still at 35 children officially but the actual numbers have grown very high. Our last picnic was attended by 60 children but we can't buy maize for all of them, because its above our budget. However we allow the picnic numbers to be growing because it is away of nurturing young souls for the kingdom. I do believe that when we have given them enough grounding, later Christ will be formed in them. It is my prayer that God will give you sufficient grace to continue to support us in this godly enterprise so that we can preserve some lives for Christ Jesus.

2. We have six branches in total under UMC Mzuzu circuit: Zowe, Masasa, Kavuzi, Chitimba, Bale and Mzuzu itself all have orphans that need help in terms of food and school fees and sundry. When we enter the new fiscal year we will submit more details in our proposal or when you come in March.

3. Thanks for your continued commitment for anothe Village Well. The month of March is ok. The community leaders phoned me this morning asking for the drilling of the borehore since they are desperate for clean water.

4. We gladly welcome you and the whole team for 9-11 March. We are also ready to participate in the PACCT programme.

Please continue to be part of us in prayer and financial succour. The results of your labours will surely come out in an awesome fashion at God's own time as he works out the future of the vulnerable social group through your generosity.

Liberation Spirituality: Henri Nouwen and Gustavo Gutierrez in Dialogue

Liberation Spirituality: Henri Nouwen and Gustavo Gutierrez in Dialogue Lecture Notes: Presented by Michael J. Christensen, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Practice of Spirituality and Ministry, Drew University; and International Director, Communities of Shalom, The United Methodist Church Introduction “There is a little man in Peru, a man without any power, who lives in a barrio with poor people and who wrote a book. In this book he simply reclaimed the basic Christian truth that God became human to bring good news to the poor, new light to the blind, and liberty to the captives. Then years later this book and movement it started is considered a danger by [the USA, or Rome], the greatest power on earth. When I look at this little man, Gustavo, and think about [the President of the US, or the Pope], I see David standing before Goliath, again with no more weapon than a little stone, a stone called A The...

Not Afraid of Death by Julia Esquivel

In reading your blog, Michael, I immediately think of these two poems is poem by Julia Esquivel, from Guatemala, whom I had the pleasure of meeting years ago. Un abrazo, Ada Maria I AM NOT AFRAID OF DEATH I am no longer afraid of death I know well Its dark and cold corridors Leading to life. I am afraid rather of that life Which does not come out of death, Which cramps our hands And slows our march. I am afraid of my fear And even more of the fear of others, Who do not know where they are going, Who continue clinging To what they think is life Which we know to be death! I live each day to kill death; I die each day to give birth to life, And in this death of death, I die a thousand times And am reborn another thousand Through that love From my People Which nourishes hope! THREATEN WITH RESURRECTION They have threatened us with Resurrection There is something here within us which doesn’t let us sleep, which doesn’t let us rest, which doesn’t stop the pounding deep inside. It is t...
