Testimony' how he joined EWM written by Pastor Steven

About Eagle Wings. 

Initially called living waters mission. But changed to Eagle Wings to tie in with the Bible. Isaiah Forty verse thirty one.

To begin with it was me, as a human, whom had doubts about this mission. I confess my weakness for not understanding Gods small tiny beginnings. I didn't expect Eagle Wings to carry us to this point. I failed to understand Gods plans and choice of people to use. I didn't expect this mission to do great things.

In the beginning Our sister in Christ Shirley raised funds. Through the sale of her paintings, to support us.  Malawi churches are too poor to support their Pastors.

At first we only received K20,000 per month which is like twenty dollars. We had to take a check to the bank.  Now we receive MK 200,000 per month close to two hundred dollars. 

The amazing thing is how Shirley meet Ps Julius at her sisters house in Blantyre. Ps Julius was the first. Then he phoned to come to Mzuzu to visit me. I was resisting because my wife Kestina and I had no food. In Malawi we are obliged to offer guest food. 

Ps Julius kept phoning until eventually I accepted his visit. Julius was very persistent;

My wife was embarrassed due to shortage of food. However I eventually invited Ps Julius to worship and preach in Mzuzu. We had no breakfast so he was tired and hungry. He stayed two days. 

So God used Ps Julius to ask me to be part of this mission. Ps Julius is a Godly humble man. With determination to fulfill Gods work.

I realize that i must not dismiss little beginnings. God can use the people he divinely chooses and at the perfect time. 

Ps Ed Marshall our co worker came from Australia to Malawi. He invited us and our wives to the Lake. It was a new wonderful experience to see Our large lake. He tried to teach us to swim. Also he took us out into the Lake in an engine boat. At this time it was Julius and his wife Edna. Myself and Kestina. Our late Ps Hassan and his late wife Flocy. Including their 2 year old daughter Hannah;. I started to respect this call even though I was personally still trying to understand where God was leading us.

This was a memorable time and Ps Ed taught us how to share. He strengthened our Faith and encouraged us to evangelize  in our respective area's.
