LHM visit to Malawi 2025

Feedback on the LHM visit to Malawi in June 2025 from Claire and Dave Richards.

We were very privileged to go on this visit and sensed the favour of God on us in a special way. We were so grateful for the many people we knew were praying for us .

Aubrey and Grace have made a great sacrifice for the cause of the gospel . We were speaking on the subject of leadership and marriage at three one day conferences. Both lots of teaching were well received, there was a lot of interaction with the marriage talks. The conferences were attended by leaders of churches in the local communities

Final day with Pastor Aubrey, Grace and family 

We ministered to one of the pastors who understood English and responded to a word of knowledge. Bishop Patrick joined us on the Friday as he had organized this particular day.

A personal comment: As an intercessor it is not uncommon for me to feel a burden of prayer. However this time there was a depth of identification with the people I haven't experienced before. At times I could barely speak, so overwhelming was the presence of the Holy Spirit. Dave had this experience too, particularly on Pentecost Sunday.

We were staying in a basic lodge in the Limbe district . We got to know  some of the staff really well during our stay. The adoptive parents (a white couple from England) of one of the employees made a special journey to see us.
