Present Ministries
The Malawi churches have three annual conferences with multiple circuits. Students in the Great Commission Bible School program in Lilongwe are engaged in church planting as a part of their course of study. The students and pastors of the Malawi FMC have planted several churches across the borders of Mozambique, Tanzania and Zambia.
ORIGINS
A graduate of the Free Methodist Bible School in Zimbabwe returned to his home in Malawi in December 1973 to preach and to establish Free Methodist churches. Missionaries from Zimbabwe visited and gave encouragement to the fast-growing work. In 1977 a short-term Bible school was established in Salima.
