Malawi Outreach Update – April 2010
We have been on a rollercoaster since our last update. But, we have good news, in spite of Government regulations that has caused us to reconfigure the School of Ministry location, we are happy to report after much prayer that the school will begin its first session on May 3rd with the initial 15 Pastors in attendance. The second session following will be with the next group of Pastors.
So, here is what we have concluded that the Lord has shown us to do. Since we have already rented a house here in Lilongwe where Nora & I reside, that is on a large lot, we have decided to hold classes here at our home. In addition to the main house, it has guest quarters with three rooms large enough to house up to 10-12 men along with bathroom facilities. The living room in the house is quite large and we have very little furniture, so it is easily converted into a good size classroom. We have hired a cook to do all the cooking, Malawian style. We will also have to provide bedding for them, blankets, etc., as they cannot afford an extra blanket to bring with them from home. This will provide an environment where we are all together during the day for regular classes, and then allow for evening discussions, fellowship and worship. They will also have the opportunity to ask questions and receive personal prayer & attention, which they would not receive otherwise on a regular school campus.
The class schedule for the School of Ministry is Monday through Thursday. The Pastors will return to their homes and churches for Friday through Sunday and return back to Lilongwe on Monday ready to begin the new week of school. The main expense will be transportation and food costs along with some initial front end purchases for bedding and supplies. So, we met with the first set of Pastors this last Thursday, 15 in all, and they are all set to begin classes on May 3rd. Please be praying that they will be able to get everything arranged so they can make this commitment to attend class without financial hardships to their families & the church Body. The level of poverty with these village Pastors forces them to trust God as they leave their families & churches to place the high priority & value on what the Lord is doing for them to provide this School of Ministry to increase their knowledge of the Lord and His Word!
To all of you who have contributed financially to specifically assist these Pastors who can obtain additional training, please know that every dollar is being spent to maximize the benefit of those who will be attending classes. To all of you who are contributing to the Malawi Outreach Ministry, also know we are doing all we can to stretch every dollar, so that these men can receive this teaching & training, that they may be discipled and become mature disciplers themselves in their respective village churches.
And needless to say, all of us need to be praying for the success of this very important outreach, as the depth of teaching in Malawi is so shallow, and we have the opportunity to make a significant impact in this extremely poor country. The people of Malawi need to know so much more about the Lord Jesus and the Holy Word of God! Thank you for partnering with us and holding the rope on your end, so that these men can grow in their knowledge of God’s Word and make a dramatic difference in the depth of knowledge within their churches, their communities, and in their country!
May our Lord bless you for your participation in the Malawi Outreach Ministry, you are making a difference in peoples lives today and for eternity. There are always additional unexpected expense needs that arise daily, so if the Lord puts it on your heart to make additional financial gifting, rest assured it will be put to good use for the kingdom of God.
In Him,
Steve & Nora

Malawi Outreah Update for March 2010
Two months of 2010 are already behind us, and it seems as though January 1st was only last week. How times flies, and yet, we are all given the same 24 hours a day to accomplish that which our Lord has given us to do. How we spend the time is the difference between satisfaction, or, possibly dissatisfaction over regretting our failures. With all that is happening in the world today; earthquakes, tsunamis, disease, pestilence, societies falling apart as a result of godlessness and sin, can the return of our Lord be far away?
Personally, I believe Jesus will be coming back in my lifetime and it could be at any minute! But, He said “occupy until He returns.” So, let us all be aware of the signs of the times and “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour the Lord is coming.” (Matthew 24:42) Let us all be sober minded as we are about the Lord’s work, wherever we are serving Him!
We are rapidly gearing up for the start of the Calvary Chapel School of Ministry, now scheduled to begin March 15th, with four different centers located in strategic locations in central and southern Malawi. We will be rotating the classes from month to month to each center, until such time as the good Lord provides us the funding to build a centralized location in Lilongwe. We are truly excited about the beginning of the school which is so desperately needed in order to properly train these pastors! So, please be holding this up in prayer, and be also praying for traveling mercies for our travels to each of these centers and for the pastors attending. That they will be able to fully give of themselves to this opportunity to learn and be trained, so that they can be the shepherds of their flocks that God has called them to be! The raining season has been very heavy this year and all the so called roads of Malawi are nothing more than mud tracks which have been basically destroyed by the rain. This makes it very hard to get to the villages and times extremely dangerous, so please be praying for us!
Nora & I are doing well, our health is very good, and we are staying extremely busy as we are involved in a number of different activities. Our prayer requests are:
1. Prayer for the start of the School of Ministry and all the attending pastors.
2. Successful Mediation results on our vehicle suit.
3. More laborers for the work here in Malawi.
4. Additional funding for the various needed ministry projects.
5. Prayer for the spiritual warfare being waged against us and the ministry here.
God bless you all and keep looking up, our redemption draws near. (Luke 21:25-28)
Love,
Steve & Nora

Back in Malawi
We enjoyed our visit back to the states with our family and extended church family, it was a glorious time and we cherish every moment and every event we were blessed to attend. And as always, to be able to share about our beloved Malawi was such a privilege!
We arrived back in Malawi on January 21st and we have been running to catch up ever since. just before we left Malawi in November, we rented a house in Lilongwe, and now we are scurrying to get it furnished. After 50 years of marriage, raising 4 children, moving a number of times over that period of tome, and we find ourselves starting all over again fro scratch with nothing in hand and a four bedroom house to fully furnish!!!!!
In addition, our vehicle has been in the repair shop for the past 4 days, costing us again more money to put into a money pit, and it has been raining almost everyday which makes it hard to be in the villages! Welcome to Malawi!!!! "In this life you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world!"
All kidding aside, we are so happy to be back "home" in Lilongwe, we love our house, and the fellowship at CC Lilongwe continues to do well. Praise the Lord! We are scheduled to begin our School of Ministry on March 1st, so please be praying for us as there is yet much to do before we begin!
Prayer needs are many, but here are a few for your prayer closet:
1. Furnishing the house
2. A new vehicle that is dependable
3. A good start for the School of Ministry.
4. Continued growth at CC Lilongwe in the Word of God.
5. That our discipling of young men in our fellowdhip will bear much fruit.
6. For more laborers.
God bless all of you for your faithful prayers & support. There are so many people who need so much just to survive daily life, so please be praying for the Lord to open the windows of heaven to pour out upon this land & the people of Malawi.
In Him,
Steve & Nora

Happy New Year!
We have been back in the States now for about 7 weeks & we have been on a very busy schedule! We have enjoyed every minute of our time back home, but at the same time we are eager to get back to Malawi to continue the work the Lord has started in 2009!
On December 12th, our Care Team put on a special event at Calvary Chapel Monterey Bay where we were to share the work in Malawi with over 200 faithful saints who came on a windy, rainy day, to share in our joy! They also had put together a "Silent Auction" with again over 100 items donated to raise funds to allow for the Malawian Pastors to attend the School of Ministry starting in March of 2010. We are delighted to share that all the funds have been raised to allow the Pastors to attend for six months of training & discipleship! Praise His Holy Name!!!!! Thank all of you who participated and have given to this very important work!
We also have visited several churches who have expressed an interest in the work in Malawi, attended the annual Calvary Chapel Missions Conference at the Bible College located in Murrita, Ca. which was absolutely outstandingly good!! We were & continue to be amazed at what the Lord is doing all over this earth! Great speakers, fantastic Workshops, and wonderful fellowship with old friends & making many new friendships!! We also have been able to spend such precious & quality time with all of our children & their families. (13 Grandchildren & 3 3/4 Great Grandchildren)
Following the Conference we were able to visit our close friends(family), Rich & Pam Boyer and all their children & grandchildren! Then we were ablt to spend some quiet time in Pismo Beach and then we visited another close family to us, Paul & Teri Sisemore & their family as well as attend church service at Paul's church," At The Cross" in Shell Beach; a wonderful Fellowship and a warm group of people!
We then came back to Monterey to have a special meeting with our Care Team, a fantastic dinner by Bob & Mary Cuva, and great time of fellowship had by all!! Care Team, we love each one of you and greatly appreciate you for all you do for the Lord and the people of Malawi! We flew up to Seattle on Tuesday to visit our daughter Kelly and her family in Arlington, Washington. We will be here until Saturday and we fly to San Jose, then drive to Monterey to attend the Donors Meeting for Ruth's Shawl Ministry whom Nora is the Program Manager in Malawi. We will attend church service at Calvary Chapel in Monterey on Sunday, then drive to S.F. that night and leave for Malawi on Monday the 18th.
Please be praying for a safe & enjoyable flight back and that all that we have been able to accomplish while we were here will bear much fruit for the future! Pray for our Malawian Pastors as they begining their training, and that our Lord will continue to provide all the necessary funding to complete the Training & Discipleship School Building, which is only a shell at this point. That we will be able to complete the legal battle regarding the vehicle we purchased in Malawi, and that there will many teams coming to Malawi from the States & elsewhere, to serve & work with all the Malawian people!
Nora & I are so aware that where the Lord guides, He also provides! Our dependence is upon Jesus and we realize that He is provider. Please accept our sincere gratefulness for your prayers, your love, & financial support! Know that we are all a team, & that together we can be obedient to our Lord to " to go & make diciples of all nations." (Matthew 28:18-20)
May the Lord bless & keep you close to Him in all aspects of your lives! Remember, Jesus is coming back soon, so let Jesus catch us busy about His work & Kingdom until that day!

We pray all of you had a wonderful Christ filled Christmas with family & friends! And we want to wish you all a very Happy New Year as we look forward to what the Lord has for us in 2010!
Nora & I have been blessed to have time with three of our children and their families and we look forward in January to having some quality time with our daughter Kelly & her family in Washington State. We were also blessed with the special Silent Auction event held 12/12/09 at Calvary Chapel in Monterey that raised sufficient money to allow our 30 Pastors in Malawi to be able to attend the Training & Discipleship School in 2010! PTL!!!! Thank you to all who participated & especially our Care Team who put the whole event together!! You all are awesome fellow servants & the brethren in Malawi will be so blessed at your endeavors in their behalf!
We will be attending the Calvary Chapel Missions Conference from January 4-7th, then up to Washington, and returning to Monterey on the 16th and leaving for Malawi on January 18th. In the meantime, we will be sharing at Calvary Chapel Monterey on this Wednesday night at 6:30 PM and at Calvary Chapel in Salinas on Sunday January 3rd. So, if anyone is in either of these two areas, come fellowship with us!
We are loving our time with our family and friends, but at the same time we are already looking forward to returning to our new "home" in Malawi. Please continue to pray for us as we wrap up our time here and that our Lord will supply all of our financial needs for 2010! He has always been faithful to do so, but we need to keep knocking, seeking, & asking!
Thanks to all our faithful supporters in 2009 and we pray you will continue to stand with us in 2010, for there is yet much land yet to be occupied! There are many different needs to assist the Malawian churches & their congregations, and if anyone desires to have more details, please contact us at www.snb1959@gmail.com or at this blog spot address and we will get back to you.
May our Lord Jesus bless & keep you close to Himself and always remember to look up, for our redemption draws nigh! We love and appreciate each one of you so much!

Malawi Outreach Report
November 14, 2009
We are wrapping up our first 10 months of ministry here in Malawi as we head home to California for the holidays. We have been blessed beyond measure and we have come to love Malawi and its people! God has sent us here to be a blessing and a help to our brethren of Malawi, and with God’s leading us by His Holy Spirit, we have seen His power in strengthening us in our weakness. However, we would say without hesitation, we have learned so much from our brothers & sisters, that it has been a mutual admiration relationship!
God is opening up His arms to Malawi and desires to have His Holy Spirit to be poured out upon His people. We have found that the people of Malawi are eager to learn more & more about our Lord Jesus and His Holy Word! They are hard workers, fast learners, all they need is for the Body of Christ to come along side of them to assist them to become completely self sufficient in their walk with Jesus and to become financially able to care for themselves and their families.
So, as Nora & I head home to be with our family to give thanks to our Lord for our well being and to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus, we are also well aware that we need to share this story with as many people and churches as we can while we are home. We have a video presentation about the ministry here in Malawi and we would love to come to your church to share and answer any questions you may have of us & of Malawi. So that if the Lord speaks to your heart to be involved in prayer, or in financial contributions, we will be able to inform you properly! If you prefer, we can send you the video which will briefly inform you about the many aspects of the ministry opportunities available in Malawi.
We just concluded a 10 day Medical Outreach, where we conducted seven (7) Clinics in six (6) days, allowing our team of four nurses and one Medical Doctor to have some rest in between. They were able to examine, consult, and disbursed medications to all, estimated to about one thousand patients. We owe a great amount of gratitude to Laura Bomarito, Laurel Fuge, Santos Ramirez, Teresa Anaya, and Dr. James High of the African Bible College Medical Clinic! We thank you, one in all for your selfless service to our Lord and to the most needy people in outlining villages, where there is little to no medical & health facilities. May our Lord bless all you do in His name, both now and until He returns!
We also were blessed to attend the Calvary Chapel All African Pastors Conference in Cape Town in October. We were overjoyed at the growth of the number of God’s people serving in Africa since we first attended this Conference in 2007. The speakers were outstanding, the fellowship sweet, and the new people we were able to meet was very gratifying as well as the joy of renewing many friendships! God is so good!!!
Please be praying for safe travel for us, a wonderful time with our family, and that the Lord will open many doors for us to walk through for His kingdom. Thank you all for your love, prayers, and financial support during 2009 and we ask you to pray what the Lord would have you do in 2010 for the work in Malawi.
May our Lord bless you all and we so look forward to seeing as many of you as possible when we are back!
