An answer to Matthew Parris's comments on Malawi in the Sunday Times December 2009
Rural Africans value light far more than we do. In a spiritual sense, this is something they have gained from men and women from the West, who went out to serve them rather than rule them.
My grandparents went to Malawi in the early 1900’s with a concern to minister to their physical and spiritual needs. They were both awarded MBE’s but it is even more thrilling to me now to read how this light has spread. The Malawians are training their own pastors and small churches are flourishing in rural areas, together with schools, clinics and homes for children. They are reaching into Mozambique and say they are taking the light with them.
God has promised that such light will never be put out.
