| | Request for Prayer for Malawi Trip | | |
Ken Perkins, Pastor of the Advent Christian Church in Bear River, Nova Scotia, and his wife, Darlene, are making final preparations for their next trip to Malawi. This will be Ken's twelfth trip and Darlene's eighth. They will be leaving on July 22 and will be in Malawi until August 11. Darlene did not go in 2024, but her presence is requested this year. One pastor's wife told Ken not to come again without her. "We want our woman," she said.
Ken and Darlene will be visiting and encouraging pastors and churches. Their time will conclude with a week of seminars for pastors, wives, and church leaders from both Malawi and Mozambique. Ken will be continuing and expanding of the material presented during the 2024 trip.
Your prayerful support from now through the mission trip is greatly appreciated.
