Discipleship
Thank you for supporting and praying for Family Care Ministries Malawi as we pursue our God-given purpose in this noisy, distracting, and chaotic world!
Economic breakdowns impacted our members and efforts this year. Yet multiplication continues by the power of God and the faithfulness of his people.
This year saw the launch of over 13 new FSC centres. And over 300 students enrolled to pursue a full 12 FSC—men and women now prepared to equip others in their local communities.
From the time someone is trained to the time they graduate and become fully recognized to train others and become full certified teachers, it can be from a minimum period of 12 months to a maximum period of 36 months. The results we see each year flow from equipping held one, two, or even three years earlier.
This year, we hosted over 500 lessons/classes, which gathered different people as students together for prayer, spiritual renewal, and additional equipping. Students are encouraged by others who share their mission, and their vision is renewed—having an impact beyond measure.
Under God’s guidance and power, and thanks to your support and prayers, FCM Malawi pursues this one thing: equipping people to equip others.
That has led to graduating 37 full-time students this year, through whom over 500 disciple-makers were trained and sent out; over 1000 new believers joined the Body of Christ; and over 15,000 gospel tracts were distributed country-wide. Praise God!
12 FSC Centre’s in Malawi
We work within four regions of Malawi, namely, Southern, Southeastern, Central, and Northern. We currently have 25 training centres across Malawi. We have 15 centres in the southern region, 3 in the southeastern region, 3 in the central region, and 4 in the northern region. A centre is a place where students meet for classes, prayers, etc., and is managed by one or more teachers.
Children’s Ministry in Malawi
The mission of the Children’s Ministry is to nurture children’s growth in Christian faith through Biblically based lessons, prayer, worship, and service experiences. This year, we have distributed over 3,000 character-building booklets to kids through their different schools.
Food Security and Livelihood in Malawi
In 2024, our efforts to enhance food security and improve the livelihoods of our people in the Southern Region, particularly Chikwawa district, saw significant progress. With a focus on irrigation projects, sustainable agricultural practices, capacity-building, and economic resilience, our initiatives have made a meaningful impact on the communities we serve.
In 2023, we provided a few communities with gasoline water pumps for irrigation systems, ensuring a consistent water supply in people’s gardens throughout the year. This has contributed to a 25% increase in food production and improved water management.
