Tisu Mwanza, the Director of the Malawi Montessori Christian School and Teacher Training Center, has a habit of reminding me, “Don’t despite small beginnings. God is going to do great things.” And He has. Thank you all for your support these last five months as I was in Malawi. My role has changed from an individual\u00a0missionary called to Malawi to start a school (2008)\u00a0\u00a0to an Executive Director of\u00a0 a Malawian Ministry (2010), that oversees two educational projects, one economic development project, and one adult Christian leadership project. We have 11 Malawian staff members as part of MWAY Ministries and a Malawian registered NGO- Zikomo Yesu Enterprises. What God has done is beautiful. The specific measurable results are\u00a0a testamony to His grace and provision, but most importantly the relationships that have formed and leadership that has developed are inspiring and life giving! Below are His results from the first five months of 2010 and our goals. Peace and love to all! Thank you for investing in the future leaders of Malawi! God is multiplying your investment! Love, Maribeth<\/p>\n
