Some news from a recent trip to Malawi & Mozambique:
Rev. Jussa and Johannes Aucamp.
Rev. Jussa and Johannes Aucamp.
Rev. Jussa is a missionary in Magodani. He had to learn a new language in order to serve this community. He comes from a very fertile area, where he was able to provide for his family through farming. In Magodani however, the land is very sandy and not very fertile. The area also doesn’t have any electricity. Rev. Jussa saw his circumstances as an opportunity and started a small business where he charges the neighbours’ cell phones using solar power.
Rev Samuel
Rev. Samuel
Rev. Samuel is form Milange in Mozambique. He was raised by his grandmother and learned to look after himself from a very young age. Milange is very close to the Malawi border, and there is always a lot of local trade taking place in the area. For this trade to occur, the money from both countries must be exchanged. Rev. Samuel is a money changer. If you have ever been to Africa, you will know that money traders are not very trustworthy. However, because of his friendliness and  trustworthiness Rev. Samuel has a lot of clients.
Rev. Fombe and Rev. Stanley
Rev Fombe is busy pumping, and Rev Stanley (in the blue shirt) is standing next to Johannes.
Rev. Stanley is a small farmer from Goliat in Malawi. He plants maize, some vegetables and also has a cow. Every morning and evening the cow is milked and the can of milk is taken, with a bicycle, to the local milk buyer. The total number of litres are kept track of, and he gets paid once every month.


Rev. Fombe is from Krismis in Malawi. He and his family burns wood to make charcoal, and take is to market so that they can live. He also has a great way with children, and does contractual work as a nursery school teacher.
