>   PRAYER FOCUS: MALAWI

A new Clinical Officer has arrived at the David Gordon Memorial (DGMH) in Livingstonia where Maureen Stevenson works.  Penjani Sichinga began work last Monday.  The road from Livingstonia to the lake is closed at present due to road works and there are difficulties transporting some patients to and from the hospital.  Give thanks for the arrival of Penjani Sichinga and pray for him, Maureen and the other staff at DGMH as they work in a very busy hospital.  Pray too for safe transport for the patients.
