After Dick and Suzi visited our congregation in 2012 and informed us of various needs in Malawi, one of our families set about to engineer a drive to send textbooks and laptops to students in that African country. With the Austin school district donating some 34,000 textbooks, the church raised the funds ($37,000) to ship the books to Malawi. The drive also led to the donation of about 100 used laptops, which were refurbished for shipment to Malawi.

Dick and Suzi encouraged some of our members to travel to Malawi and see, first-hand, how these resources were being used. Six of our members made the journey in the summer of 2013, taking with us medical supplies to distribute among clinics and hospitals. We returned to the U. S. with several thousand completed Bible correspondence courses for processing by a team here in Austin.

Our team returned with something more as well--a deep affection for the kind and appreciative people of Malawi. Dick and Suzi meticulously arranged our 15-day sojourn within Malawi and accompanied us every step of the way. We interacted daily with a variety of folks, from faculty and students at a pair of preaching training schools to medical administrators and members of a number of churches in the country. We made optimal use of our time, distributing resources while witnessing firsthand the impact that textbooks, laptops, "baby packs," and medical supplies had with the people of Malawi. The team also had time to interact with the fascinating wildlife that help make the country so attractive to guests.

It is obvious that Dick and Suzi's work has had an indelible impact on the country--and its leadership. Countless people, and evangelistic efforts, have been helped through their tireless efforts to see that as many needs of the people as possible are addressed. They understand the people, and their personal interest in the well-being of Malawians--both medical and spiritual--is on display at every turn.
