Working with the churches throughout Malawi is one of the major ministries that Namikango Mission takes part in. This ministry involves visiting with churches to teach, preach, offer encouragement, and mediate issues and conflicts. We also visit churches to explain and offer our other ministries and resources such as CHE, VSL, and conservation agriculture. In addition to dedicating new church buildings and attending seminars and trainings, last year was full of church visits and camp meetings. Here is Namikango’s church ministry in 2019 by the numbers:
