Joyfully We Go

Image
  May 07, 2025 Joyfully, we go.   Joyfully, we go. by Julie Arman The morning sunlight sends its glowing streak through our mosquito net, I can hear the loud birds outside our window. The fan is on and half on us. Still half conscious I feel like this must be another dream: there is no hot water coming from the shower and a smoke smell is coming from outside our window, welcome to the warm heart of Africa! This doesn’t sound too appealing to some but this is part of the TIA (This Is Africa) moments!  I love the simplicity of this life and the slowness of it all. I love going outside in our backyard. I love the trees and the Southern African birds (yes even the annoying crows on our roof!) I love the colorful Chitenje Cloth and the unpaved crazy roads and potholes, it is almost the end of the rainy season after all. Looking out the car window, the chaos is here, full of  passing over packed minibuses on our left trying to avoid bikes and pedestrians. Driving here isn’...

Fall Harvest

October 2024  Fall Harvest   Hello from the Warm Heart of Africa, Last week I returned from visiting our sister churches in Malawi and Eastern Zambia. We were able to encourage our church pastors and connect with the missionary community. It was an incredible refreshment on every side. We came to see God's work flourishing with a renewed vision to continue penetrating into new areas with Churches and Bible Colleges. We also had a chance to meet with the homeschool group. Evangelism and Staff Meeting Home School Group Swim Meet Noah's Swim Team Our Old House The Amazing Misomali Family We called a meeting of all the pastors in the country to fellowship and talk about the vision of our ministry. It was so heartwarming to see men and women of God working together to increase God's kingdom.

  February 2024 News   February 2024 News The churches in Malawi seem to be doing very well. We should not be surprised, even Christ said the same: “ Very truly I tell you, whoever believes  in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” – John 12:14. Mzuzu.  Last week the Greater Grace Churches of Malawi sent a missionary to plant a church in the northern city of Mzuzu. This has been on our hearts for the last 5 years, it finally happened. The churches raised support and sent Pr. Liking Zungu. There are other members who used to live in Lilongwe that relocated to Mzuzu that he is gathering. Pr. Zungu is in the middle.

In addition to classrooms that face inside the property, we will have shops that face out tow...

Coming with the change in power to a new ...

A Great And Effectual Door

  A Great and Effectual Door – 1Corinthians 16:9: The month of April always reminds us of God’s immense greatness especially for us here in Malawi; we recall the eternal work that Christ did for us on Easter regarding His Death, Burial, and Resurrection. Also it is the time in which we hold our regional conference and graduation. We were touched with great gratitude for all our brothers and sisters that sacrificed to visit us. We had guests from Congo, USA, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The conference was amazing, the graduation of 88 students brought great excitement, and the messages were foundational for our continued growth. One memorable message that hit home was how the pillars of the church like prayer, the Word, and evangelism can either be miserable or magnificent depending on whether or not God’s Agape Love is behind them. A church can be doing everything correctly and flourishing on the outside, yet it may lack God’s Love. This conference marked ano...
