Helping Malawian Farmers

Two US university agriculture experts recently traveled to Africa to partner with AGWM Malawi missionaries in assessing the needs of local Malawian farmers and pastors and to glean cultural understanding about the complex issue of food security on the continent.

Together they visited local gardens, farms, a school, and a university. They spent hours discussing planting strategies and methodologies, soil health, and the resiliency of local resources. They visited several villages where locals are making and using their own compost and they planted two maize fields by hand.

God is already at work in the hearts of Malawians to heal the soil and their relationship as stewards of His creation. AGWM Malawi is grateful to partner with these US agricultural experts and local churches to prayerfully address food security in the Warm Heart of Africa. A healthy church within walking distance of every Malawian is possible when local pastors are healthy- both spiritually and physically.
