 Pray for Malawi

Population  15 Million People 125 per sq km

Religion  80% Christian  12% Muslim

Positives  

Malawi continues to be spiritually the most receptive country in central Africa. Student ministries have flourished. There are over 500 high school groups and a further 25 in the universities and colleges with over a fifth of the 120,000 tertiary students involved. Students are open to the gospel. Pray for Godly leadership for these groups and ultimately for the Church and nation as a result.

 

 

 

Prayer needs  

Well-watered and fertile but impoverished by overpopulation,  falling world prices for tobacco, tea and sugar, poor communications to the outside world and AIDS. Expatriate missionaries are primarily engaged in supporting existing denominations and agencies in training, outreach and Christian institutions. Pray for the encouragement of Malawian believers and fruitful ministries in this day of opportunity. There are big demands for Scriptures for local use and for the large refugee community, but limited funds to meet them. Many rural Christians do not have Bibles.
