Andy's Visit


During the month of May, God gave us a wonderful gift! Our son Andy came to visit us The time has been way too short, but more than exceeded our expectations. It has been such a joy to see God moving in Andy's heart about Malawi that started many months ago and then we have seen Him begin to orchestrate this visit with more teachings for Andy. Here is a brief description of our adventures during his visit.





The kids at Mphanda village gave Andy a warm welcome as he visited the church that first Sunday. We worshiped with the small congregation and Larry preached.








Andy's first Malawian meal was nsima, cooked cabbage with onion and tomato, and hard-boiled eggs. Malawians rarely eat eggs for breakfast, but mostly as a main dish for lunch or dinner.




















Andy assisted with digging a well. Here, they are preparing the drainage holes for what comes out of the bore hole.
















They attach the drill bit for cutting into the ground.








As the drilling continues the water and dirt that is coming out has to be inspected for small bits of rock.



Andy and Mandy visited one of Lilongwe's parks where we saw many monkeys, baboons, a lion, leopard, python, and crocodiles. The river running through it was so beautiful.

The kids at the orphan care site loved Andy and he loved them. It's so amazing to see how he fit into our ministry. He will leave on June 13. We are praying for Andy's future. Please join us.
