Malawi Info:
Known as “the Warm Heart of Africa,” Malawi has a population of 10 million and is about the size of N.C. With a life expectancy of 35 years and a literacy rate of 40%, the daily lives of Malawians are incredibly challenging. Malaria kills more people than AIDS, mostly children. However, the number of orphans in Malawi is approaching 1 million.
More Presbyterians in Malawi than all of United States and growing. What a blessing to learn from them and share the good news with those in United States who are leaving the church.
CCAP, Church of Central Africa-Presbyterian, is our partner church. Currently, there are 6 PCUSA missionaries along with their children serving in Malawi: Drs. Barbara Nagy, Sue Makin, and Martha Sommers, Jim & Jody McGill, Frank and Nancy Dimmock and Debbie Chase.
