Greetings from Malawi! Home on the ground in Africa 12,000 miles beyond the horizon. I must say, these are some of the most beautiful people on the planet. And as often as one may hear it said, I didn’t come to impact them as much as they have impacted me.

In short, we are having the most incredible time and God is totally blessing!

It’s Saturday night here and we just completed another day of teaching and ministry and loving on some of the most needy people on our planet. I spoke at the local Men’s breakfast outreach this morning. It was awesome to be in the presence of the Lord with these men who want nothing more than to serve the Lord. The team joined me afterwards to go to the village to provide blankets and mosquito nets in the name of Jesus and in the name of Horizon Christian Fellowship. You guys just blessed a whole bunch of kids who had nothing…until today.

This has been a remarkable week of service here; preaching a dozen times,
(Willy Briscoe has also been teaching here, so the blessings are being shared abundantly), giving the children a taste of VBS (great job Jared!), bringing food to the villages, providing bedding and mosquito nets, visiting the AIDS baby crisis center, and bringing music and worship (props to the Mike Clark Band) to some folks who praise the Lord passionately!

I will be heading for Germany to speak at the European Pastors Conference this week, as Team Africa returns home. Please be in prayer as we wrap up our ministry to the glory of God.

You are missed and loved by your team. Thanks everyone..for making this trip possible.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Love you, pb

  • Thanks for paving the way for hope and salvation to people who have no where to go for love, forgivness and no one to turn too.

  • something rings of colonialism in your comments.

  • Non-possession is allied to non-stealing. A thing not originally stolen must nevertheless be classified as stolen property, if we possess it without needing it. Possession implies provision for the future. A seeker after Truth, a follower of the law of Love, cannot hold anything against tomorrow. God never stores for the morrow. He never creates more than what is strictly needed for the moment. If, therefore, we repose faith in His Providence, we should rest assured that He will give us every day our daily bread, meaning everything that we require…. Our ignorance or negligence of the Divine Law, which gives to man from day to day his daily bread and no more, has given rise to inequalities with all the miseries attendant upon them. The rich have superfluous store of things which they do not need and which are, therefore, neglected and wasted, while millions are starved to death for want of sustenance.
