there are some challenges that the pastor and his family together with the
entire circuit are facing when doing the work of God. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Dzatopetsa said the cost of living in the
circuit is so high and his house which he uses to pay MWK3, 500 ($15) per month
is not enough for his family.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

use rented classrooms in schools which also require money on monthly basis,”
said the pastor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">The pastor observed that some of these
problems can be solved if the members in the circuit are equipped in
microeconomic activities for them to do small businesses. He also indicated that
the parsonage and church building will also lead to effective ministry in the
circuit since his family will live in a church house and they will use the rent
money for other things in the house. Meanwhile, people in the community
including the pastor depend on subsistence farming to earn their daily living
which most of the times does not meet the family needs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

happy that he completed the Junior Certificate of Education (JCE) through the
pastors’ scholarship program from the church and appreciated Reverend Herb
Mather of Belmont UMC in the United States of America for the program. He said
his plan is to go further with education.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

By John Nyadaufe<br />
<u>Baptist Theological Center; Lilongwe</u><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>T</b></span>he Agriculture Manager in the Malawi United Methodist Church, Lester Mhone has asked the conference to employ two farm assistants to help him in operating the church farm in Mchinji.<br />
<br />
The development erupted at the beginning of the first session of the church's Provisional Annual Conference held at Baptist Theological Seminar in Lilongwe on July 6, 2012.<br />
<br />
Speaking when he was asked to elaborate on Agriculture report, Mhone said that the church can benefit from the farm if funding and potential workers are provided in time.<br />

"The farm requires committed personnel to help me in operations so that we can have good outcome," said Mhone.<br />
<br />
Responding to the development, the Conference Office Manager, Hugo Ngwira agreed that the farm needs some individuals to work with Mhone.<br />
<br />
He added that there is hope that one of the two students who are being trained in agriculture in Lilongwe will be recruited to help.<br />
<br />
In delayed funds, Ngwira stated that the ministry involves many stages such as proposal confirmation for the funds to released from donors which sometimes takes time.<br />
<br />
Ngwira advised that plans are in progress to have tangible projects on the farm to fulfill the manager's vision and dreams.<br />
<br />
Agriculture is the major project which helps pastors in the MUMC provisional Conference to have enough food for their families through farm inputs implementations. <br />

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Malawi United Methodist Church (MUMC) has engaged in uplifting the nutrition programme and church building projects under sponsorship from the Church of Resurrection (COR), in Kansas, USA. The developments come after a visit by a team of five Volunteers in Mission (VIM) from COR (led by Director of Partnership, Reverend Cayce Stapp) to the Malawi Missionary Conference in January.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The projects, which include the construction of a church in the Madisi Circuit and the Nutrition Programme of the Church’s Heath Ministry that feeds malnourished children under five-years-old and HIV positive people, were decided on during the leaders meeting held in Blantyre; alongside focus on methodologies to improve communication and reinforce this partnership.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In order for them to have meaningful discussions, MUMC Leadership and the COR VIM team held a retreat meeting on 20<sup>th</sup> to 23<sup>rd</sup> January at Fishermen’s Rest Lodge in Blantyre. Twenty-four members participated, including the heads of different departments in the Malawi UM Conference. There was time to share ideas on how MUMC and COR could improve their partnership in reaching the four foci areas namely: Poverty Alleviation, Congregation Development, Health Improvement and Leadership Development.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This was achieved as the Organisational Developer, missionary Inke Johannsen, facilitated the programme and allowed the two parties to ask each other questions about methodologies to ensure that through the partnership, the Malawi UMC will become a self-reliant conference in its ministries.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Speaking at the beginning of the meeting, Malawi Conference Superintendent Rev. Daniel Mhone appreciated the United Methodists from Church Of Resurrection for supporting the church in different projects and equipping leaders with resources so that they can perform their duties effectively.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> “This is a great miracle as you plant for the development of United Methodist Church in Malawi,” said Reverend Mhone.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Superintendent added that the gathering was aimed at uplifting the name of Christ and reminded members the vision of the church is to see the Malawi Missionary Conference become an Annual Conference and raise the status of people from poverty to prosperity in both physical and spiritual lives; which he said could only happen when the partnership persists.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Reverend Stapp said he is impressed with the activities taking place in the conference and assured the participants that COR will help in the partnership so that Malawi UMC can rely on its own in the future.</span></span></div>

sound like a lie, but pay attention for a moment; it is reality. Sometimes people leave fine seats at

Most of the churches are located in rural areas, such as Nsanje, where
transportation from one local church to another is a major challenge. This
challenge affects Hesten Mbuzi as he tries to visit all the local churches
regularly. However, Mbuzi is a fine example for all of the United Methodists in
Malawi. God’s work may not be easy. In fact, the challenges may be great. But
pastor Mbuzi shows that we can find great joy and fulfilment in life when we

<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Rev. Teddy Crum,
his wife Sylvia and daughter Lily are again riding the Circuits of the Malawi United
Methodist Church. On Sunday, 20<sup>th</sup> November, 2011 they made a visit
to the Nsanje Circuit where they accomplished several ministerial assignments.
98 people were baptised including 76 members at Bangula UMC and 22 members at Tengani
UMC.<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">A highlight of
this busy day was the baptism of a local chief. He committed his life to Christ
as his Lord and Saviour even though he had reached a very old age before making
this decision. The visit to the Nsanje Circuit is the Crum’s seventh Circuit
visitation in the Malawi Missionary Conference since they arrived in the
country in June 2011.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Hesten Mbuzi,
the pastor-in-charge for Nsanje Circuit, did not mince words regarding how the
missionaries’ visit to his Circuit was an inspiration and a source of
encouragement to the Circuit which has had many un-baptised members still in need
of teachings in order to grow spiritually in the Lord.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Commenting on
the same note, the Circuit Lay Leader, Mpota Sandram,<span style="color: red;"> </span>was
quick to say that the missionaries’ visit gave hope and encouragement to the
members. He hoped that their presence would bring other developmental changes
to the Nsanje Circuit in terms of ministry programs such as water and
sanitation and other health related ministries of the Church. “The local church
at Zwaki had already moulded bricks for the construction of a church building
for worship and help would be needed for other building materials and roofing
resources to be made available,” explained Sandram. Adding to this, the Lay Leader
said that Nsanje Circuit is facing a food crisis. It is located in a drought
prone area. He believes that irrigation programs would ensure food security for
some of the areas in the community.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The health
coordinator of the Malawi Missionary Conference, Mrs. Mercy Nyirongo, makes regular
visits to the Nsanje Circuit as part of her work developing the health ministry
in local communities throughout the Nsanje Circuit. She is already working with
members of local churches in the Nsanje Circuit to help them improve the
community’s health.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">When called on
to respond, Reverend Teddy Crum explained to the church members that his work
in the Missionary Conference is to help members receive the sacraments of
baptism and Holy Communion. He is also working to advance the education of the
local pastors so that Circuit members can better learn from them about faith in
the Lord Jesus Christ.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">The larger
connection within the United Methodist Church can occasionally offer assistance
within areas of development and crisis prevention, and the Nsanje Circuit has
received significant assistance from the Church to help cope with their
challenges. Crum explained later that the issues of irrigation and food insecurity are crucial in the
Nsanje area, and require a concerted effort by the Malawi government in order
to address these concerns in a sustainable manner. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Rev. Crum listened
carefully to the challenges faced by the members in the Circuit and assured the
members that their concerns would be shared with the Conference Leadership so
that the Leadership can consider additional programs that could empower members
to gain sustainability.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">He encouraged Nsanje
Circuit members to think creatively amongst themselves so that local support could
achieve God’s ministry in these very difficult times. Local challenges are
often overcome with local solutions. Crum noted that the Missionary Conference does
not have the financial resources to conduct these sorts of development
projects. He pointed out that the reason why so few visits are made to this and
other circuits is that funds are not available for transportation. However, he said
that God often makes a way where there appears to be no clear path.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">And so the Circuit
riding continues. As the Crums visit more circuits around the Conference they
get a better understanding of what God is doing in the Malawi United Methodist
Church. The Crums hope to walk alongside the people of the MUMC to help enhance
effective ministry and transform lives. They frequently point out that they are
not the ones with the solutions, but are here to work with the local leadership
of the Malawi UMC to develop effective ministries.<o:p></o:p></span></div>MALAWI UNITED METHODIST CHURCHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06902672606887512618noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5529338619863776776.post-76426681782207931962011-12-14T13:24:00.000+02:002011-12-14T13:24:20.723+02:00MAPHUNZIRO A ABUSA A MALAWI U.M.C<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:DocumentProperties> <o:Version>12.00</o:Version> </o:DocumentProperties> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:RelyOnVML/> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves/> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:DoNotPromoteQF/> <w:LidThemeOther>EN-GB</w:LidThemeOther> <w:LidThemeAsian>X-NONE</w:LidThemeAsian> <w:LidThemeComplexScript>X-NONE</w:LidThemeComplexScript> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:SplitPgBreakAndParaMark/> <w:DontVertAlignCellWithSp/> <w:DontBreakConstrainedForcedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> <w:Word11KerningPairs/> <w:CachedColBalance/> </w:Compatibility> <m:mathPr> <m:mathFont m:val="Cambria Math"/> <m:brkBin m:val="before"/> <m:brkBinSub m:val="--> <m:smallfrac m:val="off"> <m:dispdef> <m:lmargin m:val="0"> <m:rmargin m:val="0"> <m:defjc m:val="centerGroup"> <m:wrapindent m:val="1440"> <m:intlim m:val="subSup"> <m:narylim m:val="undOvr"> </m:narylim></m:intlim> </m:wrapindent><!--[endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" DefUnhideWhenUsed="true"
