Every Monday morning begins with the weekly staff meeting for the office workers.  It is at these meetings that each office worker gives a report of his previous week and shares his plans for the following week.  We discuss problems and make strategies at these meetings.  We try to keep the meetings to one hour, but usually they go for a good 90 minutes.

The staff meetings have another goal: creating and solidifying unity among the staff of Namikango Bible School and Maternity Clinic.  The greatest challenge facing this ministry has been finding workers of integrity who are willing to work with others.  Men who had other agendas or who were divisive have done much damage to this ministry over the years and have at times come close to torpedoing all the good that was being done.  We could share some horror stories, but now we want to focus on the future.

My dream is to continue cultivating greater and greater discipleship in this group and to use its God-given gifts to the glory of the Name.  The development of Christ-likeness in these men and love and unity among them as a group comes as a greater priorority than even any ministry that they can do.  Churches throughout Malawi look to us for biblical instruction and maturity.  Failure to demonstrate Christ in our own lives and ministry could do untold spiritual damage to believers over a wide area.  I believe that Christ will do great things through our staff if they first allow Him to shape their own lives to become potent instruments in His tool chest.  The current group of men has made progress toward that goal and this gives us reason to be optimistic about the years ahead
