Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus, part of the growing repentance remnant, cleansing as His Bride, getting ready for His soon return as our Bridegroom-----
Genesis 50:19-21 AMPC
And Joseph said to them, Fear not; for am I in the place of God? [Vengeance is His, not mine.] As for you, you thought evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring about that many people should be kept alive, as they are this day. Now therefore, do not be afraid. I will provide for and support you and your little ones. And he comforted them [imparting cheer, hope, strength] and spoke to their hearts [kindly].
Joseph's story in Genesis sure is a story of suffering, pain, humbleness and forgiveness all leading to a place of being elevated by God over time. Joseph was a man being shaped by his circumstances - becoming a great example of the love that Jesus has for us today, and how Jesus rules and cares all at the same time. Joseph was not allowing his pain to make him bitter, but instead he rose above it all, and chose to care for his brothers and family, and even caring for a country that wasn't his - as if it was his. Ensuring everyone had food to eat, and even assisting other nations that came to Egypt during the famine. He did not judge, instead he proved God's Leadership Abilities and managed the Food Storehouse in Egypt with great success.
And today Bishop Joseph in Lilongwe, Malawi is using this story of Joseph as motivation through the "Joseph Project" - together with the OUT Training - for many young people in Malawi to motivate them to rise above their circumstances of poverty and struggles that everyone is facing in Malawi - and instead working towards praying and caring for their fellow Malawian people - even start working towards providing food for themselves - through farming small portions of land - in so doing producing food throughout the year for many, or to go to school and finish their studies, and seeking better employment, etc.
And this has caused a wonderful testimony to come about - through the regular prayers of a young man - named Joseph Simbi - who did not stop visiting and praying for a lady who was struck with blindness through her circumstances of hunger and sickness all caused by malnutrition. Her sickness got her so demoralized and disheartened, that she started contemplating committing suicide. But when young Joseph Simbi started praying for her, it started giving her hope again, and she has even seen small improvements in her health again. You can watch this video clip attached above of her giving her testimony, and encouraging the church to continue encouraging, empowering and equipping young people like Joseph Simbi.
Below are some further messages received from Bishop Joseph over this past week - listing some feedback from past meetings, further plans of the Joseph Project, and also listing some urgent Prayer needs for his family and also mentioning where funding is required, etc....
As the rainy season approaches, we're gearing up to invest in farming once again through the Joseph Project. Our plans involve visiting all groups across districts to encourage participation in the project and feeding program. Despite a wonderful gathering today, we're facing a budget shortfall. We're praying fervently, trusting that God will provide for our needs, especially for next week's program in Dedza.
It's imperative that we address hunger, which is a pressing issue.
Our goal is for every OUT group to cultivate two hectares of farmland and train others in poverty-fighting farming methods. This initiative will not only benefit our communities but also showcase our commitment to living out Jesus' teachings, inspiring others to follow suit.

NB
I always differentiate the personal family needs and OUT training/ Joseph project Ministry
As l write now we have two issues at home
1: Food
2: Daughter Tusayiwe school fee
Praying that we pay for her this coming Monday since the headteacher called several times
Young Joseph Simbi an OUT graduate, has discovered his calling through the training he received and has dedicated himself to helping those around him. One remarkable testimony is from Area 36, where people gather at his house for prayer. A lady, who had lost hope and was contemplating taking her own life due to her dire circumstances – no food, blindness from illness, and a sense of purposelessness – was touched by Joseph's ministry. Today, she's testifying that because of this young preacher, she's alive and regaining her sight. She's optimistic about her recovery, saying, 'I believe I will recover soon.'
This inspiring testimony is a testament to the impact of OUT training, which empowers individuals like Joseph to change lives and transform communities. Through his faithfulness, Joseph Simbi is making a profound difference in the lives of those around him."
I may send Susan the clip of the blind woman who wanted to die but because of Joseph Simbi OUT graduate she can testify

When God says yes, indeed nobody can say no! 🌟 This young man, Joseph, is truly committed to the great commission, following in the footsteps of Jesus and the apostles. His faith and actions are inspiring!
The Bible says in Mark 16:18, "they will place hands on the sick, and they will get well." It's beautiful to see Joseph living out this scripture, preaching the Gospel, and healing the sick through the power of God.
Let's continue to support and pray for Joseph as he spreads the Good News and demonstrates God's love to those in need. May his ministry be fruitful and bring glory to God! 🌟 #FaithInAction #HealingMinistries
This lady, who had contemplated suicide, has been transformed by the kindness and prayers of Young Joseph Simbi. Her hope has been restored, and today she shared a powerful testimony, encouraging us to continue empowering and equipping young people like Joseph. The impact of his ministry is evident, as people from the surrounding area flock to his house seeking prayer. We give thanks to God for these remarkable testimonies, which demonstrate His love and redemption in the lives of those who are hurting."
In today's leaders meeting, we tackled three key issues: Registration, Food, and Farming. Registration will proceed, but we need transportation funds for next season. The hunger crisis is critical - we need food aid now.
On a positive note, the Pastors Fraternity Chairperson proposed farming 15 hectares this season to increase food production. This is Joseph's project action plan, and leaders are working hard to make it happen.

Training kicks off this week in Dedza and next week in Ntchisi Districts! Let's motivate and inspire OUT groups to jump into farming mode, (Joseph Project) now that the rainy season is here. We're aiming for each group to farm 1-2 hectares, depending on land costs. Teamwork makes it happen!
Dedza training budget breakdown:
- $350 covers food, transport, and materials,
- with $50 allocated for farm rent.
Let's make the most of it!

May God Continue to Bless the youths of Malawi!!
