Barton Trip to Malawi

Tuesday, December 1, 2009

Scott and Gayle Barton are getting ready for their trip to Malawi to visit their missionary friends, Paul and Darlene Heller, who are running the Crisis Nursery in Mzuzu, Malawi (Collenbrook’s Mission of the Month for August, 2009). The Bartons still have some shots to get, and anti-malaria pills to start. But mostly they are starting to collect things to take. They’ve already had generous donations of 8 DVDs, which the Hellers can sometimes watch after a long, hard day.

Contribute to the Heller’s Wish List
Scott and Gayle would appreciate help in taking the Hellers items from a Wish List of “quality-of-life” items to keep them connected with a few U.S. “comforts.” Visit the Wish List to see what is still needed (un-checked items) and what you might be able to donate. You can check out the Hellers’ blog at http://suffer-the-little-children.blogspot.com/ (named for the text from Matthew, “But Jesus said, suffer the little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”) The Crisis Nursery was Collenbrook’s Mission of the Month for August, 2009.
