Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world. Theological famine is also widespread, the health and wealth gospel is prevalent, and Islam is expanding country-wide. Solid formal training options exist in Malawi’s larger cities, but these remain inaccessible to the many city and rural, bi-vocational pastors serving the local churches of Malawi. TLI established its first Non-Formal training site in Malawi in 2019. In August 2022 we will launch our Non-Formal training cohort. The site itself is rural, but pastors and church leaders come from the cities and rural villages for training.
