Chitsime Church Meeting
Friday, July 25, 2003

The Chitsime Village congregation of the Church of Christ is located in Phalombe District about 55 km northeast of Blantyre. As you can tell from the photo, we had a very nice gathering of people in very good spirits and ready for this meeting. We were blessed with brethren representing a number of surrounding congregations in attendance. The Chitsime brethren had prepared a very nice grass shelter for the occasion. It is not visible in the photo, but it is behind blue gum trees in the backgound. We had to take the photo outside the shelter area in order to get every one in the picture. Brother Yakobe Samuel is the preacher for this congregation. Davidson Kasambwe was our translator and I had the honor of being the speaker.  --Jim Franklin, P.O. Box 573, Blantyre, Malawi, Africa
