August 8th: One Year in Malawi!

August 8, 2013 By Becky Owen

Today marks the day we stepped off the plane,
setting foot in Malawi one year ago!  
What a year it has been!  
 
August 2012

Thank you to all who have prayed for us as we prepared to come, as we navigated moving across the world and living in a new-to-us culture, not to mention job transitioning into Jonathan’s first year of teaching!  Thank you to all who have supported us financially – we are reminded of your generosity each paycheck we receive and of God’s faithful provision in every area of life. 

August 2013
 It has been a 
stretching-fulfilling-difficult-exciting-fun-stressful-interesting year 
 full of blessings from our heavenly Father who knows us and our needs and our gifts the best.  
We are being changed by this experience and have seen God at work around us at EBCoM and among the BIC church of Malawi.
All praise be given to God!
 
A Malawian wood carving we have
in the center of our dining room table
reminding us of our family of 4, on this
journey together, with our focus on Christ,
our Light and Salvation!

    So much has happened in the space of one year. I was comparing the two pictures, and obviously Rachel has changed the most–now a little girl, rather than a babe in arms. Love and joy and blessings to you. I'll have to look through my pictures again, just so I don't forget.
