Enlightened Christian Gathering Church (ECG) Youths

Even though its been long to bring out this post, I have found that its very necessary to put it out for the best of our friends and all the well wishers. It was some months ago at church someone from my church heard about the development that is happening in the community where am coming from, he asked me how do i do that and where do we find support from, the answers was just straight, i said its survival by Grace, the answer came up like that because there is no one apart from us the owner of the community who is supporting the development, the little we get the little we share. That's why we are called Ovaha meaning giving .

The youths of excellency

This someone went and discuss with his friends about the Ovaha's Hut developments and him with the friends teamed up to help us with a lot of assorted items like soap, sugar, clothes, shoes, salt and many other basic needs, everyone who attended the function on this day went home with a good heavy packages. regardless of the register we have of all kids and the elderly people, we had more to share with the other close by villages.

These young people came from the church in the city of Blantyre all the way to Mulanje District about 37.5 miles journey and they call themselves THE YOUTHS OF EXCELLENCE, the church they came from is called Enlightened Christian Gathering Church and the founder of the church is Prophet Shepherd Bushiri. And according to these youths they said the founder of the church is good at giving, so them too are following the same route of giving the little they have to the needy around them and all areas they can reach.

We had a very wonderful time and on the day we had Mark Allen Barret from USA and Nina Weyman from Germany our old good friends and partners, people really enjoyed, guys you are beautiful and we ask that this should not be the first time to visit us, May God bless you all.

Community Development at Heart

Happy New Year to you all our friends. As Ovaha's we are very glad to show you our developments and its out wish to see all our plans have come to pass. We want to make sure that children and all elderly people in our communty are being taken good of, regardless of how the age is. In our village we have a woman and her 3 grand children who have been staying in very small house about the size of bathroom for more than 7 years, she has been in the house together with all her belongings. Currently Ovaha's Hut is building a beautiful house for her and the grand children. The kids who are staying with this old woman what happened was that the mother died 5 years ago and the father dissapeared after the death of the wife, the search was conducted but nobody could find the father to the kids until now. Ovaha's Hut wants to thank all the friends who has made this possible, you are all shinning stars forever and its our hope that you will still partner with us for a good course of developing the needy in Muloza, Mulanje.

The Huts are ready and beautiful.

We are looking for these two machines for Our Community

After a long distance that people have been taking going to the Maize Mill, Ovaha's Hut we have put in plans to get people who can assist us by buying the Milling machines that uses diesel so that the village cannot take a long distance to walk and pay a lot of money. Apart from a long distance when the electricity is off (black out) many people in the village finds it difficult to grind their maize, thats why we choose the diesel engine that can function at any time.. When the Maize Mills are planted it will be also part of Income generating activity that will help to finance for other things at Ovaha's Hut.

Your support will be appreciated and will change many in the Village where Ovaha's Hut is based and other villages around.

We want to put a big smile to these elderly nomatter what

We are still moving forward

Elderly women

Some of donated items

Sorry its been a while, CURE and the rainy season put Ovaha and the construction behind schedule. However, a couple exciting thins happened during our last mission to Ovaha.

The water line was installed and flowing in a central location near the entrance of the village. The walk to the river (about 3 miles) roundtrip is now unnecessary for fetching water daily. It has been greatly appreciated by the villagers at Ovaha's Hut and will continue to improve the daily routine for lots of families for years to come. We were ecstatic to see it up and running during our last visit. It is the direct result of outside support for a small village in Malawi, Africa. Thanks to everyone that is backing this project, it wouldn't be possible without YOU!

Lawrence's church (Enlightened Christian Gathering) is preparing a trip to Ovaha's Hut on 13 July 2013. Many youth (and a few older guys) from the church will travel to Ovaha's Hut to share encouragement, provide clothing and toys and let the villagers know that they have strong Malawian support for a short distance from them. I'm excited to see Lawrence's church get behind the project and especially excited that the villagers will get to meet & greet with a group of selfless individuals that love Jesus.

We have found a great source of clothing and toys in Blantyre. A post at the International Trade Fair sells wholesale lots of clothing & toys. Bundles are put together and sold by weight. We intend on buying materials from this post to be able to deliver more materials with donation money.

We are excited about the work that God is continuing to do through Lawrence and the supporters of Ovaha's Hut. Enjoy the pictures from the last visit to Ovaha and we will update again soon.
