YEAH! from 1998 to NOW

Japhet Mchakulu from Malawi was EAFC's FIRST STUDENT.  In the year 2000 he received a masters degree in Communications from Mississippi College.  TEN YEARS LATER he was the chapel speaker at M.C.  TODAY I got an email from him that began like this:

Dear Mama Val,

First of all, thank you for praying for the 6th of July. The viva voce was quite successful. I have been awarded the Ph.D. pending minor corrections to the thesis which must be done in one month. This means that definitely I will be in Leicester until the 16th August. This means that everything regarding this Ph.D. will have been completed and closed by then. Then we can put this long running saga behind us and move on to other things. Thank you for standing with me and Mphatso during this time especially the last year when things were really getting difficult.

          Japhet had many set backs during this pursuit of the PhD.  The country of Norway funded MOST of this degree, but then time ran out, and he's really, really struggled with even money for air travel between Malawi and England.

Anyone feel led to help him?  In June, 2010 Japhet married Mphatso.  Wouldn't be great if we could offer a kind of wedding gift for this outstanding young couple who God used to begin the EAFC ADVENTURE?

As always, I remind you that you could give by sending a check to EAFC, PO Box 5303, Jackson, Ms 39202.  May God direct this and all the endeavors of EAFC as we seek to build on such a foundation as this!
