This reports highlights some activities which took place in the month of July, 2016. The activities included: 30 years of Trans World Radio (TWR) ministry and 15 years of broadcasting in Malawi, preschool and feeding programme, Bible Study and Gospel Outreaches, Radio broadcasts, several meetings at a district level with other stakeholders in developmental, and follow up on eye screening exercise.

FVM was fully involved in the celebration of 30 years TWR ministry and 15 years of broadcasting in Malawi. Prior to broadcasting directly from Malawi, TWR was reaching out the world from Manzini, Swaziland. This is the radio FVM is using to spread the good news to millions of people through the two programmes.
It was such a momentous time to meet hundreds of TWR listeners, and a few producers, technicians and other co-workers in the ministry, many for the first time. The producer of our Tumbuka Programme is Dumisani Prince Tembo, a brother whom I discipled in SCOM some time ago, whereas Feston Kawawa is a producer of the Chichewa Programme, Kulingalira Mozama.
Preschool & Feeding Programme: End of Year
Currently, preschool and feeding programme is on annual break. The two day off-season feeding programme is yet to start as materials are yet to be acquired.

Weekly Bible Study is going on well. The local pastors and FVM staff facilitate the studies.There was a gospel outreach at GVH Chimbalanga 2, the adjacent community to Taulo. About 90% of the 200 participants indicated to have decided for God for the first time.
Weekly Radio Broadcasts of the Gospel on TWR in local languages of ChiTumbuka and Chichewa continue very well with encouraging testimonies. There are several testimonies including cross border regions “Ndimadalitsika kwambiri ndikamamva ulaliki wanu pa TWR (I am always blessed when I listen to your messages on TWR),” says a listener Matias Phiri from Zambia.
