Check out this video below. It is a documentary from a church that worked with Save Orphans Ministry in Malawi in 2006.

Our team will also be working with Justin and his wife Ruth from Save Orphans Ministry.

Justin and his wife are in the first part of the video. Our team will be meeting with Ruth next month to discuss how we can help this organization while we are in Malawi.

Team Dinner-Tam Tam African Restaurant


Two weeks ago the Malawi Mission team ventured to a local African Restaurant called Tam Tam to try some native African foods and enjoyed an afternoon of fellowship. Tam Tam serves authentic African food. We had a great time.



We had a great waitress who provided us a lot of information on the background and source of the many foods on the menu. We learned a great deal about African foods.



I had goat steak for the first time and my wife tried the Tilapia served African Style. Whole including the head. My wife Bo was a little surprised when it was served.



See the attached pictures.



Our mission team is made up of the following:



Mark Mehlig-Pastor and Team Lead

Suzie Mehlig

Kim Smith

Marilyn Williams

Cherilyn Washington

Ray Washington

Cheryl Anthonis

Travel Date Change/Shots

Our dates for the trip have changed. We are now leaving for Malawi on Friday June 26th 2009 and departing Malawi on Monday July 6th 2009.

I got my first series of shots last week! Ouch!!! I unusually don't mind needles but I would be lying if I said it did not hurt. I had to get two in each arm.

Happy New Year

Because we are traveling to a third world country it is required that we get a series of shots before making the trip. Below is a list of shots required and the cost. Fortunately I don't have much of a problem with needles.

Hep A - $35 Yellow Fever $96 Typhoid - $67 Polio Booster - $27

We have our next meeting January 11th. We will develope a timeline/calendar for the next 7 months until we leave. I plan to take a picture of the team at our next meeting and post it on the blog.

Happy New Year!
