Makhua Ministry Feedback
March 2023

• We had a very precious prayer time on Saturday 11 with some supporters. We realized once again how vital and indispensable prayer is to the work of God in Niassa
• In the next six months, I will Lord willingly travel to Muapula three times– twice for teaching and training and once in June for the thirty years festival.
• Those who are interested in more “real-time” updates during the April visit can send me your mobile numbers, which I will add to a Whatsapp group for updates. Things happen quite fast during that training block and on-the-spot prayer requests and feedback is essential.
• There is a HUGE amount of logistics that goes into these training periods. At least 8 Makhua women together with Nickey work tirelessly in teams to prepare over 50 meals for 12 – 15 people during this time, to mention only one element. 
• We received money to buy a motorcycle for Muapula. We are going to use it to send two of our church members out some weekends to unreached villages we have identified, in order for us to get a better picture of what the spiritual needs are and what the situation is like spiritually in those areas. We will tell you more about this “reconnaissance” element of our ministry at a later stage. We are VERY excited about this opportunity and possibility!
• There are a few people who are not able to be part of this year’s visit to Muapula in June, but are very interested in going, Lord willingly, next year. Just keep that in mind so long – that it is a real possibility for 2024.

• Please pray for the April visit – for all the journeys of the students and myself; for protection over us and our loved-ones. There were huge onslaughts from the enemy during the previous training block.
• Pray for wisdom and guidance about how to plan and approach the reconnaissance of so many villages we know nothing about….
• Pray for the June visit with all its administrative and other processes – that God’s hand will be in all of this and that it will be an unforgettable blessed time.
• Pray for God’s continued provision as we are facing a very challenging and demanding year financially.
