As a Representative of RFI IN THIS COUNTRY I thank you for all you have doing with me since 2000AD till now which is 11 years.Its long ago indeed.I believe that you have proved me all these years and by now you have trust that your son in Malawi is really your Right Hand

Allow me to thank for 100USD you have been helping my family since 2000AD.

REQUESTS

In my report of April,May,June, I requestest RFI to be suppying DVD’s tapes for me to be using during Leadership training here so that people can be able to see live how meetings are done with RFI headquorter there with our president Dr Polis etc.you did not reply this request

The second one is that please be praying for me because much responsibility is on my shoulder as what I have seen is that when the work is growing much responsibilities are there and FINANCES become the major challenge.Pray that my financial resources be strong otherwise its challenge to the work here.I hope you get my point in this request.I ask you to pray so that God should raise financial supporters to this great work.

Lastly,if all goes well please visit Malawi next year if possible

Your son
