Grace Point! July 2015 | Page 16

God started this church with 4 persons in 1993, and now He has blessed us with more than 800 believers. The main church has between 150 and 200 members each Sunday, but the main growth comes not from creating a mega church, but from the 20 churches planted in eight of the country’s districts by the main church. Our aim is to reach all of Malawi with the Gospel by systematically planting new churches in every village. The only way we can make impact in our unbelieving society is to train and send people to evangelize and plant churches. Our vision is to build a strong local church, and to have an impact on our community, our city, and our nation. We want to tell people the good news of the Gospel, namely that they don’t have to be bound by the enemy – ie. by poverty, sickness, drugs, or any other condition. We want them to know that God desires to bless them. But bringing people to the point where they are able to act on this knowledge, and break Satan’s strongholds in their lives with the Word of God, involves helping them both naturally and spiritually. That’s what we have endeavoured to do, and we have some wonderful testimonies by members of our congregation of God’s life–changing power. We often conduct camp–meetings, seminars, and conferences. 16
