The Malawi Mission has broadened so that now it has become an ecumenical movement focused on providing aid to our brothers and sisters in Malawi. Those involved include Baptists, Brethrens, Lutherans, Presbyterians, Moravians, and Methodists. A board has been formed that reflects this diversity and the mission is moving towards receiving its 501(c)3 status. Numerous colleges are partnering with the mission, providing opportunities for professors and students to make a difference in Malawi. Multiple trips are being planned every year as this mission continues to expand. A ten year plan for providing infrastructure has been established which focuses specifically on the following areas: building churches, schools and dormitories, providing hunger relief, health care, educational scholarships, and clean water. God continues to bless this partnership for the sake of the Gospel. We have set our eyes upon several developments for the future; medical missions, establishing a Habitat for Humanity affiliate within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Malawi, and have begun discussions on the provision of a bio-fuel plant.

Pentecost and the World   [1917]

Missionary zeal does not grow out of intellectual beliefs, nor out of theological arguments, but out of love.  If I do not love a person I am not moved to help him by proofs that he is in need; if I do love him, I wait for no proof of a special need to urge me to help him. Knowledge of Christ is so rich a treasure that the spirit of love must necessarily desire to impart it.  The mere assurance that others have it not is sufficient proof of their need.  This spirit of love throws aside intellectual arguments that they can do very well without it.  But if this spirit is not present, a man is easily persuaded that to impart a knowledge of Christianity (for it is noteworthy that such men always speak of Christianity rather than of Christ) is not necessary -- nay, is superfluous expense of energy which might be better used in other ways.

Roland Allen  (1869-1947)
