Nothing Can Stop the Women of Malawi from Telling the Story
The women of North Malawi Mission Field conducted an evangelistic meeting in Mzuzu Prison. When they first asked for permission to hold the meetings, they were turned down because it was believed the women’s meetings would involve the prisoners the whole day, leaving them no time to do hard labor. Efforts to
explain to the authorities that they just needed 30 minutes each day were fruitless. However, the women were authorized to speak to the prisoners for just four days.
On the last day, God performed a miracle because over a hundred persons were converted and 75 were baptized. God only needs our willingness, for He accomplishes His purposes.

"Appreciation Meeting" for Former Missionaries Brings Women Together
In Mongolia, Women's Ministries and Shepherdess Departments invited former and present missionaries, as well as Shepherdesses (pastors’ wives), to meet together. The purpose was to encourage and commend women who had served as missionaries and leaders of the church but who are no longer active.
“Without these women and their hard work, many of the churches in Mongolia wouldn’t exist. Because of their tears and prayers, God blessed the churches abundantly in the past,” said Mi Yong Kotanko in the opening ceremony during which all were presented with a small plaque of appreciation.
