The folks at Knox, Waterdown, Ont., may be on to something. They educated themselves about the situation in Malawi, particularly that evangelists often have to travel long distances on foot. Now here is the tricky part: during Lent, every time they felt gratitude that they didn’t regularly face such arduous hardships, they dropped a quarter into their bottle banks. They had a lot of gratitude in Waterdown – they raised enough money for 35 bicycles for Malawi. Jean Wilkinson with the walking stick and Paul Smart on the bicycle are two “Malawi evangelists.” Also on the team: Ann Lynn, Carol Brown, Vicky Gerber, Pat Nicholson, Sheilah Dickson and Betty Porterfield.
