Here at Granada, we love the ministry of Sub-Saharan Africa
Family Enrichment (SAFE) in Malawi. Their vision is that the
AIDS epidemic in Africa may be curbed through redeemed hearts,
renewed minds and changed behavior, and that individuals, com-
munities, cultures and government policies may be transformed
by God’s power and principles.
One of their most successful programs has been the Gogo Grand-
mothers. GOGO (meaning grandparent) Grandmothers is a
grandparent-to-grandparent project developed by SAFE which links grandparents
from developed countries to grandparents caring for orphans in developing
countries, thereby addressing one of the major outcomes the HIV/Aids epidemic
within a faith-based context.
Recently the Gogo’s ministry shared how our prayer and financial support (in
partnership with many other churches and individuals) has made it possible for
SAFE to conduct ministry in several different ways:
Leadership Change: After 10 years as the executive director Moria Chimombo
has retired. SAFE has been actively and intentionally looking for her replacement.
They have now hired Mr. Edward Makala to be their executive director. He has 28
years of experience including time with World Vision, many years as a CEO, and
experience at the senior management level. Be praying for Mr. Makala as he takes
on this role. Pray for wisdom and guidance.
WHY WAIT? CURRICULUM Cathy Chimombo teaches WHY WAIT? LIFE SKILLS
at the training center. It is a Bible -based life skills curriculum and a required Life
Skills orientation course for the University of Malawi. Teachers say the lessons are
really changing students’ behavior and this is happening in many schools all over
Malawi. This curriculum was developed by Dick Day and Josh McDowell.
SAFE LIFE YOUTH CLUBS in Kodanani One great thing that the youth club in
Kodanani is doing is building stoves for our GoGos. These stoves are much need-
ed and fuel efficient. The GoGos are able to cook and make meals for themselves
and their community. Eventually all 126
GoGos will have a stove of their own.
Thank you, Granada, for participating in donating for SCRUBBIES that Kondanani SAFE Youth Club are making for our village Gogo's.
We raised $400 for the Club whose building these stoves for each of our 126 Gogo's. WE DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Sermon Notes - June 24, 2018 - Dan Kamwesa, High School Pastor
Luke 18:1-8
The Persistent Widow and the
Unjust Judge “Healthy prayer necessitates frequent experiences of the common, earthy,
run-of-the-mill variety…To be spiritually fit to scale the Himalayas of the
spirit, we need regular exercise in the hills and valleys of ordinary life.” -
Richard Foster, Prayer
This week let your common activities (walking the dog, talking with neigh-
bors, working with colleagues, etc.) fuel your prayer life. Use these exam-
ples of prayer as you persistently seek intimacy with God.
Prayer of Adoration: Adoration is the spontaneous yearning of the heart
to worship, honor, magnify, and bless God. See Deut. 10:21; Ps. 106:1; Ps.
30:12; Ps. 146:1-2; Luke 10:21; Heb. 13:15; Rev. 5:11-12.
Prayer of Rest: When all around us is chaos and confusion, deep within
we know stability and serenity. See Matthew 11:28 and Romans 8:26-27.
Meditative Prayer: The truth being meditated upon passes from the
mouth into the mind and down into the heart, where through quiet reflec-
tion it produces in the person praying a loving, faith-filled response. See
Psalm 1:2.
Contemplative Prayer: This prayer immerses us into the silence of God.
Progress in intimacy with God means progress towards silence. Sit in si-
lence with God and listen. See Psalm 62:1; Matt 17:5.
Intercessory Prayer: This prayer moves us from our own needs to the
needs and concerns of others; it is selfless, self-giving prayer. See Romans
8:34; Heb. 7:25; John 16:24; Luke 18:1-8
