Malawi Updates

August 2008

Missionary Ryan Wilson is directing the wells projects in Malawi. Here are pictures from a well finished in Thyolo. Thyolo is the capital of Malawi, and ins in the southern region. The district covers an area of 1,715 km.² and has a population of 458,976. You can see the great need in the before and after pictures.

Pacific Northwest Superintendent Matt Whitehead visited this well, and testifies that the water is cool, clean, and refreshing!!

On Monday I was able to go visit Nyanyala Village where one of our Free Methodist Churches is located and where your church put the well. My trip to this village was an unplanned visit as I received a phone call at 5:00am from Pastor Siliya telling me that one of his leaders had passed away. His leader was also the chief of the village. I had the opportunity to preach to over 500 people who sat under a tree grieving the loss of a husband, father, friend, church leader, and chief. While I was there I was able to snap a few pictures of the well. I wish you could have been there to see the joy on the peoples faces. The women said that the water is so clean and tastes very good!
