March 2007 David & Joanna Morrison Update

Almost four years after arrival in Bangula, the Morrisons have become somewhat accustomed to the ups and downs, the seemingly continual challenges faced by a people largely forgotten by the world. Even the north of Malawi forgets the south, where harvests have been poor to nil for the past four years. The crops have to survive intermittent and very heavy rains, very large and ravenous bugs, and birds, and finally drought. The people continue to survive. "We are overwhelmed daily by the needs of thousands - the hungry, naked, sick, homeless, and orphaned. And yet, Jesus said, ‘Do not worry about what you will wear, or what you will eat. Your Father in heaven knows what you need.’ There are people here who have discovered this truth, that if they put their faith in God, he does supply their needs. There are others who continue to look to Iris as their hope, and their supply. There is a constant need to point the people to the Lord, the Giver of Life. In all things, we are keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus. He is our provider."

"Thank you for supporting us in so many ways, so that we can love the poor as Jesus shows us how. We are only the hands and feet, and we are so encouraged to know that you, the body, stand with us in prayer and giving."
