Last Friday, Jen Willson, Katie, and I began a nine-hour drive to Karonga, a small town in Northern Malawi. When we arrived, we attempted to greet our friends with the traditional Tumbuka greetings (in Karonga, they speak Tumbuka, a language similar to Chichewa). “Muli uli?” we asked, and their faces lit up with surprise and joy, “Tili makora,” they replied. Karonga is located near the shore of Lake Malawi, so it is one of the hottest places in Malawi. Despite the heat, we could tell that the women were hungry for God’s truth. They were alert and attentive during all of the teaching, excited about worshipping the Lord together, and eager to spend time in fellowship with one another. It was amazing to see the unity in the body of Christ as we were able to spend the weekend with these incredible women.
