Building links (partnerships) with the Christian Church
and ministries in Malawi and abroad

Our diocesan Evangelism and Stewardship Ministry is the only one among the four Anglican dioceses in Malawi; therefore, its programs become a model to the rest of the dioceses. We aim and focus beyond our borders by default and necessity.

Additional diocesan evangelism and stewardship tasks, therefore, include: forming alliances with notable evangelism groups, prayer networking, outreach ministries, within and abroad, provide a focused guidance in new ways of partnership with fellow African Churches in an effort to reaching the least-evangelised peoples in our continent and beyond.

The purpose of the links (partnerships)

• Celebrate together what God is doing through His Church in Malawi and all over Africa

• Focus on the challenge of the unfinished task in Africa and the church’s role in global evangelisation

• Assess where each church, nation is at in the penetration of its least evangelised communities and in the sending of indigenous missionaries abroad

• Connect with fellow leaders whom God is using to jointly discern the heart of God for mission

• Learn from innovative African models of missions, evangelism, and transformation;

• Face up to critical challenges in the Diocese in the area of HIV/AIDS, Islam, mentoring, empowerment of women in ministry, holistic mission, and the challenge of children and youth, etc.

• Pray together for the evangelisation of our densely populated seven districts of the diocese, the Malawi nation, all of Africa and the entire world.

The Diocesan Evangelism and Stewardship department, therefore,
provides a critical bridge for diocesan leaders to join in
functional relationships to reach the diocese for Christ.

It is widely recognized that the Church in Africa is an emerging giant
and termed a "Christian faith reservoir" in the global mission force
of the 21st Century hence our diocesan vision to partner
with other notable evangelism groups in Africa and beyond.
