Tembo Family Move to Southern Region
“He brings a level of specialty that we absolutely need as we begin a new ministry,” according to Mark Thiesen of the Namikango Mission in Thondwe, Malawi. Mark continues, “The Malawi Project, a church-related ministry based in Indiana, has begun sending shipping containers of medical supplies that will bless not only our maternity clinic, but also other area clinics and hospitals. The problem confronting us was that we had no experience with this type of ministry, and no one on staff had the expertise to organize the huge volumes of equipment we will be receiving soon.”
Tembo brings four years of experience managing a similar warehouse at Blessings Hospital in Lumbadzi, near the capital, which has received a large number of containers from the Malawi Project in previous years. Thiesen adds, “The special training Wilson received both on the job while he was at Blessings, and through the management courses he took in Purchasing and Supply should have prepared him well to help us serve the people of this area.”
Thiesen notes that having Wilson Tembe with them also has yet another value to the mission. “He has come with his wife Alice, who has joined our team at the maternity clinic. She has special medical training and experience that we believe will enable us to do a better job of improving the health of women and small children.”
