Living and Sharing the Gospel in Africa

Malawi

“Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to me” (Matthew 25:40 NKJ)

Malawi is often described as the “warm heart” of Africa, and is certainly a beautiful and friendly place. However, the country has not had good rains at the right seasons for several years, and there have been food shortages and near famine conditions. In late 2002 Worldwide Church of God congregations in Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, the USA, the UK, Canada, South Africa and Kenya supported an organised fund that assisted 35 families directly with food for a period of around six months, during the worse of the crisis. In addition land and seeds were purchased in order to plant crops for the end of the crisis of period. This initiative resulted in a bumper harvest for our members in need.

Also, some years ago the Blantyre church planted a small church called Minimini on the slopes of Mount Mulanje. This church is located in a tea plantation, and now has around 70 in attendance. A literacy program has been established to help particularly women to learn how to read.
