Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus:
A major rain storm and major flooding has hit Malawi. Our brother Joseph Kazembe's reaction? LET'S REACH THEM WITH OUR LOVE! Joseph is seeing God's Hand in the chaos: amidst the chaos a Bible hung on a wall was soaked but remained intact.
Here are Joseph's messages today:
By God's grace, we've been blessed with solar lights to distribute to flood victims in Nkhoma communities through Compassionate Ministry from Zomba. We're organizing a team to visit these villages on Thursday and Friday, sharing the Gospel and distributing lights house-to-house 🙏. We'll cover transport to and from, plus one day's accommodation. We'll also need to hire motorcycles to access the villages. A donation of $260 will help with transport, accommodation, and food for the team. Let's join hands to 'bring light to darkness' and win souls for Christ."
"We're heading to Nkhoma tomorrow to distribute solar lights to 50 households affected by the flood. We'll be sharing the Gospel and handing out lights house-to-house
Earlier he wrote:
I am deeply moved by the devastating impact of the recent storm in the community. The destruction includes homes, crops, and livestock, with large stones from a nearby mountain landslide adding to the devastation. Amidst the chaos, a remarkable incident has brought hope: a Bible hung on a wall was soaked but remained intact 🙏.
All this comes from the OUT Vision which Joseph has described earlier:
Our bi-monthly trainings starts with John 15:16, where Jesus says He's the one who chose us. This motivates our young people, making them feel loved and cared for by God. We encourage them to bear fruit, be a light, and share God's love with others - including Muslim friends. Our strategy is to let God direct us and start with love. We focus on building relationships, not imposing religion. We emphasize God's love and value, not judgment. Everyone has a role in transforming communities and advancing the Kingdom - we're all valued by God.
Unexpected opportunities arise from prayer and the impact Joseph Project and OUT International have in areas other organizations avoid. We've had open doors to community colleges because we took the initiative to approach them about supporting young people who couldn't afford fees. The principal allowed students to continue with minimal fees.
Reaching unreached groups is simple: we go where sinners are. Witchcraft is prevalent in villages, so we go there. We go to remote places, sometimes with no water, bad roads, or network, where people hunger for God's word. Known organizations avoid these areas, but we go with our limited resources and make a difference. Chiefs open doors for OUT International because of this. Thank you, Brother Jeff, for your patience. I was busy with disaster response and couldn't respond sooner.

Galatians 6:9 says: "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."
And Isaiah 62: 10,12 says: " Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highways; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people....And they shall call them , The Holy People, The redeemed of the Lord: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, a city not forsaken."
