Determination and Love: The Cost of Distributing Calendars

Despite poverty, distance, and hunger, there are Christians in Malawi who will go to great lengths to ensure the Scriptures and Scripture portions are distributed. The following is a letter from a grantee in Malawi who distributed thousands of TBS Golden Thoughts calendars.

On behalf of the entire ministry, I would like to report on how Golden Thoughts calendars have been distributed. Distribution has done well, and has come to end here in Malawi, Africa. Wherever we went to distribute, people welcomed them with great appreciation, and recommending that calendars are simplifying the work of ministering and make easy to use the Bible. The work has gone well because we have reached out many churches, people in prison, in different hospitals, in markets, and also in schools. Many pastors and their people are thanking the TBS team for the recommendable job always done to save people in the whole world through these resources.

Though the work of distribution has completed, we have been facing the following challenges. Firstly, transporting resources from place to place had been a great challenge with our high levels of poverty. We had to walk long distances about 250km away to distribute. Many members who were heading the resources, were becoming sick due to swollen of feet and legs. This has been a great problem to us during distribution. Secondly, during distribution in long distances, we had been feeling hunger. We had been taking two to three days walking without consuming anything. With long distances, we had also been meeting the bandits due to passing through danger routes from one place to another. This has been a great challenge to us also. On top of that, we have been distributing without taking photos most of the times due to poor condition of my phone. When taking photos, it usually shut down, which is a great challenge.

All in all, we just praise God that though we had many challenges as stated above, but the work of distribution has completed and many people in Malawi have redeemed and are still redeeming through the work of TBS. Thank you. We are just looking forward to you, for the other coming support. Thank you.
