Bob and Flo Calderwood retired from their secular jobs in 1987 to do mission work. Bob had been an Air Controller for the FAA and Flo worked as an accountant for the State of South Carolina. They went to Guyana,South America, to do their first mission work. They found the climate to be very hot and very wet. In 1992 an opportunity resented itself to go to Malawi, Africa, and after much prayer and consideration they decided to continue their mission work there. After 18 years, they have no regrets about the change. Both are graduates of the International Bible Institute and Bob is the director of the Lubagha Bible Institute a University accredited by the International Association of Bible Institutes. Flo teaches the native women to train their children and other women. She also teaches the women on nutritional cooking utilizing available native foods. Check out Bob and Flo's latest newsletter! Our mission aim is three fold.
First
to encourage and edify the church throughout Malawi. The Lubagha Bible Institute
is training evangelists, preachers and women with degree programs for each. Another is through offering correspondence courses to people throughout the Region as part of our outreach program. This course was developed in conjunction with the World Bible School headquartered in Austin, Texas. The third mission aim is directed to the public, (and some private), schools. The program is geared towards ending Aids in Malawi through Biblical teaching on higher moral standards. Once the program is presented to the schools they eagerly seek the program material. This program does involve distribution of New Testament Study Bibles which we have printed, bound and shipped to the mission for a total cost of $3 per bible. We encourage everyone to contribute towards this effort! The information contained in this $3 Bible is extensive including New Testament background, Chronology of the Life of Jesus, Monies, weights and measurements, the Jewish Calendar, a Practical study guide of first principles, a section on the New Testament church and the complete N.T. We
solicit your prayers and donations toward these efforts. May God Bless You for your generous help! |
