Operation Bibles and Bikes
We are seeking to raise funds for the provision of Bibles and Bicycles for pastors, church elders and congregations in Malawi and Mozambique. The Lord has completely staggered us.
Donations have been coming in response to the appeal and a lady in Launceston held a Fund Raising Sale which raised more than her target by almost 50%.

The overall total to 29th November - including money we can claim back on Gift Aid - is almost £3,000

Isn't that absolutely wonderful?
Pastor Navaya, who oversees the pastors, commented on hearing the news:
'Praise Almighty God for this wonderful miracle'!
On behalf of the Pastors and people in Malawi and Mozambique, thank you all so much.
Pastor Roz has told us that this could all be spent on Bibles alone and yet there would still be a need, so please don't stop now. There is still the need for Bicycles and then the supply of Study Books and Sunday School Books.
What an encouragement to our brothers and sisters who are crying out for His Word.
Please continue to pray that our Wonderful Father would continue to raise up generous hearts so that we can bless these lovely people.

Dear Friends
Having just returned from an amazing 6 weeks at Kalibu Academy in Malawi, I want to ask for your help please.
There were many opportunities for me to chat with pastors in their villages - but it was sad to find that there are still pastors who do not have a Bible.

While I made no promises to them I did say I would see what could be done- which is why we are asking for your help. It would be wonderful if we could really meet this need.

The Malawian people are very open to the gospel and outreach is an ongoing activity. New Churches are being started and so there is a continuing need for Bibles.

It would be wonderful if you were able to help.
Please send your donation to:

George Bainborough, Out of Africa UK, Ford House, Eggesford, Chumleigh, Devon, EX18 7JY.

Because Out of Africa UK, has not obtained charitable status, we have been allowed by Seeway Trust to funnel the money through them

Please make cheques payable to:"Seeway Trust"
and please stipulate it is for the purchase of Bibles.

If you are a UK taxpayer, a gift aid form is available for your completion,signature and return with your cheque, should you so wish.
This will permit the recovery of basic tax you have paid on your donation being effectively 'added' to your cheque total

Please Click here for Gift Aid Form for you to print off a copy

Please include this Gift Aid form if possible and enclose the completed form with your donation.
A box of 20 Bibles in the Chichewa language is about £40.
The pastors cover an area of some 125 miles and if they don't have a bike they walk this distance by foot regularly.A bicycle is about £40.

If we meet the need for Bibles we will move on, with your agreement, to bikes.
We will keep you informed as to how this project goes in later Newsletters.
God bless
Penny Shellswell.
