People group: Yawo
Population: 2.5 million
Main religion: Islam
Our team in Malawi lives among the Yawo, responding to the physical, emotional and spiritual need of the community. We praise God that there are growing faith communities and emerging faith leaders among the Yawo.
“Our team is seeing God at work as the local faith community confidently takes the lead in ministry. We serve in a support role, grateful to stand alongside the key leaders and wider community of believers.
The business as mission projects under Cipula Camwenye continue to grow, along with the sewing project and adult literacy classes. These all provide meaningful skills and local funding that strengthen ministry from within the community. We celebrate how God’s Word is being taught in villages through Bible study groups, children’s ministry, discipleship and theology training.”
– Melanie and Tim
We also partner with the Baptist Theological Seminary of Malawi through funding scholarships and team members serving as lecturers. We celebrate stories of former students pastoring in local communities.
