Dug Out on Lake Malawi
It is a calm day on the lake. A fisherman paddles up near the short in one of the dugouts used extensively on the lake.

Thinking, Believing and Doing

30,000 Textbooks for Malawi
It started on a recent trip to Austin, Texas where the plight of the children of Malawi was discussed with a small group of Christians one Saturday night. Among the group was a teenager by the name of Brielle.
She asked, “Can they use school textbooks?”
She asked, “Can they use school textbooks?”
The answer was “yes”.
One could not imagine at the time that Brielle would be so successful that two 40-foot trailers are being prepared for shipment to Malawi. The trailers will contain 30,000 school textbooks. Brielle has done her part. The textbooks are in a warehouse awaiting shipment to Malawi.
Now it is up to the rest of us to step up and help her reach her goal. It will cost nearly $33,000.00 to send the trailers halfway around the world with the much needed school books. The Western Hills Church of Christ, 6211 Parkwood Dr., Austin, TX 78735 has determined to find a way to raise the funds and make the shipment possible. They are asking for your help to accomplish this, and you can make your contribution directly to their address or go to the MalawiProject.org site and send a contribution through PayPal.
