Since I do not have much web space to host copies of the correspondence, I typed out the report from pastor Boston. Some of the writings were hard to read so I did the best I could. I tried not to change any of the words but did change some of the spellings (but not all) to make it easier for us to read.
His cover sheet showed that he evangelized 9 new areas, started 1 new church, and had 50 people receive Christ as their Savior during this period.
*If anyone wants a copy of the report let me know and I will scan it and email it.
It is exciting to know that we play a part in this ministry as His kingdom is advanced!

Section 1: Personal Information and Family Information.
Dear Friend,
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. How are you? We are all well here.
I have five children, Alfred, Zioue, Inale, Chindi and Rachel. They are all at primary school except Rachel is still very young to go to school. Both of my parents are still living. My father is 68 and my mother is 62 years old. We are five children born to our parents three men and two women. I have also got five children three sons and two daughters. It seems I have resembled my roots.
One of my sons, Chindi admires to become a pastor. He likes to sing with choir group at church. He si very quick to learn any new song.
Section 2: Ministry and Training Information
I am ministering a small rural church at Kalweya. I have a total of eighty-two members, most of them youths and children. We have twenty-two families in our church. We are a rural community. I do house to house witnessing, evangelistic and revival conferences. We had two evangelistic conferences recently. A lot of people attended these conferences. Each meeting had a total of three hundred attendees. Forty-one accepted Christ as their personal Savior and fifteen have been baptized.
One of the newly baptized member is Aaron Ngulube. Before he accepted Christ his family faced a lot of hardships. He earns his living through peace work. The money he earned was spent poorly in beer drinking leaving the family in dire need, no food and some household belongings. His wife and children were hungry most of the time. After receiving Christ in his life he has greatly changed. He has stopped beer drinking and now he uses his money to support his family. His wife has testified that they are better now.
I have conducted two trainings for church leaders. Most of our church leaders attended this trainings. We had some shortages of resources, ie books and papers, but it went on well.
Section 3: Outreach Information
I continue reach out people for Christ to many areas. One of the areas I have started a preaching point is Mauyawaka, a two-hour walk from my home village, there is a small rural trading centre. Three times I have conducted an open air meeting at this place. A total of fifty people accepted Christ. Every week I visit to disciple them.
One day as I was visiting I met somebody known as James Ndhlovy, he was a dagger smoker. He appeared a bit abnormal, many times I met him along the way. This time I shared Christ with him and since then his life has changed. He has stopped smoking now he looks smart and normal.
One other time I was invited by my neighboring pastor to assist him evangelize Malinyeto village. It is an eight-hour walk from my village. We w3alked nearly the whole day, reached the place late at night. At certain points along the way we could get lost.
The conference was very successful, many people accepted Christ and many were also revived. Twelve people were baptized. We walked back two days later. We were home exhausted and tired.

3. To conduct a big revival conference.

A separate note was attached that read:
Greetings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are all doing very well in our family. Thanks a lot for picking me as part of (your group). I am so glad to be one of the few people on your sponsorship.
In Malawi we live in communities where most people do not have enough money to support themselves. Your sponsorship will change the situation of the entire family and my ministry. Before your sponsorship many people were laughing at us because we had nothing. But now we are better off. The family is enjoying good food. Our bodies will be healthy now.
God bless you.
Your brother in Christ.
