R E A CHING THE L O S T PEOPLE I N T H E L A S T PLA C E S P A R TNER SHIP P R OSPECTUS OUR PURP O S E PROCL AIM THE GOSPEL MATTHEW 24:14 In our 18-year history we have proclaimed the Gospel to more than 3.8 million people. Hundreds of thousands of people have responded and accepted Jesus. As we develop and equip our teams, we desire to see force multipliers for the Kingdom of God. PREPARE THE GREAT COMMISSION MATTHEW 28:19 We prepare leaders. To fulfill the Great Commission (or make disciples), we must facilitate a church planting movement. We train and equip Gospel-centered pastors to lead Gospel- centered churches in order to empower disciples who multiply Gospel-centered churches. PROVIDE THE GRACE OF GOD JAMES 1:27 There is no greater call than to practice pure and undefiled acts of service by ministering to widows and orphans. Benevolent acts must always be accompanied with the Gospel. Partnering to dig wells provides safe, clean water and opens many Gospel opportunities. Providing this water allows us to give people the greatest gift of all, salvation through Jesus Christ. 1 COUNTRIES O F W ORK MAL AWI Malawi is called “ The Warm Heart of Africa” due to the kind and friendly nature of its people. While small in the terms of land mass, Malawi is still one of the most densely populated countries in Southeastern Africa. It’s landlocked by Zambia to the northeast, Tanzania to the northeast and Mozambique on the eastern, southern, and western border. The population is now estimated at over 19 million even though Lake Malawi accounts for a third of the country’s landmass. Villages can be quite large and most still lack any modern conveniences. Yet, the people are incredibly warm and receptive to visitors. Currently, Malawi is experiencing a period of incredible openness to The Gospel. Malawi is one of the least developed countries in the world as well one of the poorest countries, according to an IMF report and www.businessinsider.com, with an annual GDP of 411 US dollars, just over a dollar a day. Life expectancy is low, due to AIDS and high infant mortality. At present, the largest cities are Lilongwe, Blantyre, Mzuzu, and Zomba. Lilongwe is the capital of Malawi, the location of the government offices, while Blantyre has become the business hub for the country. You Turn Ministries is currently working in areas from Mzuzu to the north as far south as Liwonde and Mangochi, and Blantyre. Currently, You Turn has five Pastor Training Schools operating in these areas of Malawi: • Mitundu (Central Malawi) - 43 students, reaching the Chewa and Ngoni People Groups • Ulongwe(Southern Malawi) - 18 students, reaching the Yao People Group • Mangochi(Southern Malawi) - 17 students, reaching the Yao People Group • Kasiya(Central Malawi) - 22 students, reaching Chewa People Group • Mzimba(Northern Malawi) - 15 students, reaching the Tumbuka and Ngoni People Groups In the spring of 2021 You Turn Ministries will begin three new schools: • Salima (East Central Malawi) - reaching the Chewa and Yao People Group • Mzuzu (Northern Malawi) - reaching the Chewa, Ngoni, and Tumbuka People Groups • Blantyre (Southern Malawi) – reaching the Chewa People Group 2 COUNTRIES O F W O R K C ONT . ZAMBIA A mineral-rich country located in Southeastern Africa that borders Malawi to the east, Mozambique and Zimbabwe to south, Tanzania to the north, Angola and The Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west. The population of Zambia is estimated at just over 18 million with Lusaka, the capital city, being the largest city and one of the fastest developing cities in Southern Africa. Lusaka has a population of over two and a half million in the metro area, while there are closer to four million in the region of Lusaka. Life expectantcy in the area is around 53 years of age. Currently, You Turn Ministries is working in areas from Chipata north to Lundazi along the far eastern border with Malawi. We also have a work in the Petauke Province. In late 2019, You Turn Ministries began our first pastor training school in Zambia in Chipata, Chipata (eastern province) with 64 people reaching the Chewa people. This is the regional governmental center for eastern Zambia. From there we will begin establishing other schools northward toward Lundazi. MOZAMBIQUE Located in southeast Africa, Mozambique borders the Indian Ocean, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia and South Africa. The official trade language is Portuguese. The country is rich in natural resources with an economy largely based on agriculuture, yet, it is one of the most underdeveloped and poorest countries on the globe. Current population projections estimate there are over 30 million inhabitants living in Mozambique. Matola, the capitol, is the largest city. You Turn Ministries currently has two students from Mozambique at our Mitundu Pastor Training School. We are praying and planning to begin our first school in Mozambique in late 2021. Lucas LaCour, You Turn Ministries Board Member from Lake Charles, Lousiana, has been working with the Nsenga People, an Unenaged, Unreached People Group in Mozambique. Since 2015, 50 new churches have been planted and more than 50,000 people have heard the Gospel. 3 PAST O R T R AINI N G CHITIPA KARONGA SCHOOL S Z AMBIA RUMPHI MZUZU LUNDAZI MZIMBA NKHOTAKOTA KASUNGA MPONELA MAL AW I KASIYA SALIMA MCHINJI CHIPATA MONKEY BAY LILONGWE DEDZA MINTUNDU MANGOCHE NCHEU ULONGWE M O Z AMBIQUE ZOMBA BLANT YRE CHIKWAWA NSANJE KEY: Green Dot - signifies location of Pastor Training Schools.

Veal to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Lost Peoples and Last Places of the earth. You Turn has become a ministry demonstrating the resurrection power of Jesus Christ to accomplish a complete and transformative “U-turn” in, through, and for the nations. The heart of You Turn is to discover where God’s Spirit is at work and join Him there with holistic gospel ministry. This ministry consists of providing practical needs such as clean water and orphan care, proclaiming the good news to those who have never heard, and preparing indigenous church leaders to multiply and extend the kingdom of Jesus Christ to the glory of God. 7 JOE VEAL FOUNDER & CEO Raised in Milledgeville GA, Joe T. Veal served as a Marine and had a career as a golf course architect, which included more than a decade working for PGA champion Arnold Palmer. Joe was involved in the design and/or construction of more than 25 championship-level golf courses across the world... yet considers his greatest achievement to be living each day as a passionate disciple of Jesus Christ. But in 1998, Joe’s life was riddled with sin and emptiness. His family, his job… his very life… hung in the balance. Joe was saved after hearing the Gospel, through the person of Jesus Christ, and his life was miraculously transformed. Since 1999, Joe has preached and shared the Gospel, across America and the world, with a unique, down-to-earth style. He has dedicated his life to winning people into the Kingdom of God with every resource he has available. In 2004, Joe formed the team that began You Turn Ministries, with a focus on southeast Africa. Through You Turn, millions have heard the Gospel, orphans have been rescued through a Lighthouse care program, and key leaders have been trained to sustain a church planting movement. Married in 1985, Joe and his wife, Liz, have four children and reside in Springboro, OH. They attend Urbancrest where Joe continues to serve as Staff Evangelist. In addition to his other work experience, Joe has served as a Children’s Pastor for Urbancrest and as a NAMB church planter. 8 ERIC PERKINS PRESIDENT As President of You Turn Ministries, Eric has a heart for people and a strong desire to see them connect with Christ. His desire is to help others discover their spiritual gifts and use them in fulfilling their Great Commission Calling. A native Texan, Eric grew up in a small town just outside Dallas, graduated from Criswell College and earned his Master of Divinity at New Orleans Theological Seminary.

  • From Chinamwali to Chilangizo: the Christianisation of Pre-Christian Chewa Initiation Rites in the Baptist Convention of Malawi

    FROM CHINAMWALI TO CHILANGIZO: THE CHRISTIANISATION OF PRE-CHRISTIAN CHEWA INITIATION RITES IN THE BAPTIST CONVENTION OF MALAWI Molly Longwe 5th September 2003 A Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Theology in African Christianity at the University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg. Declaration I hereby declare that with the exception ofthe sources specifically acknowledged in the text, this dissertation is my original work. It has not been submitted to any other Univer- sity. (Molly Longwe) Supervisor's Agreement As supervisors, we have agreed to the submission ofthis thesis. Dr. Allison Howell z.,3 #~ -W-?en.:> Date: --------e-r 111 ABSTRACT This dissertation critically reviews chilangizo in the Baptist Convention of Malawi (BACOMA) and assesses its impact on Chewa society. Christian History has shown that the Christian attitude towards traditional customs and practices surrounding life cycle rituals has ranged from negative and hostile to positive and acceptance, resulting in of­ fering alternative 'Christian' rituals. The issue of chilangizo and chinamwali have been a real pastoral and missiological problem to the Baptist Convention churches because of the churches' failure to understand the meaning ofthe traditional rites in the light ofthe mother tongue Scriptures. This study aims at guiding the Church in Malawi and in Af­ rica to engage with more openness with the cultural issues. This should assist BACOMA to thoroughly understand this cultural phenomenon and the meanings asso­ ciated with all aspects of the rites. Studying the Scriptures to understand how they re­ interpret chinamwali and its associated meanings should lead BACOMA churches into an interactive process of discussion, reflection, teaching and action.

    1. Description 1.1 Name(s) of society, language, and language family: Tumbuka, Malawi, Bantu 1.2 ISO code (3 letter code from ethnologue.com): N21 1.3 Location (latitude/longitude): (-11.20/33.10) 1.4 Brief history: past is hid in the mists of prehistoric times, no one in the tribe is able to go back more than three generations and describe even inaccurately the condition of the people. But they must have been a great tribe once, it is evident from their wide distribution and from the customs common to them. (113 Winning a Primitive People) Last century the Tumbuka tribe was distributed from latitude 14 degrees south to 11 degrees, and between longitudes 32 degrees and 34 degrees. Area of about 20000 square miles. In the South they are now called Chewa, many new settlers came and joined the group thus slightly changing the language. Tumbuka natives escaped successfully from Ngoni natives when they invaded. The first groups of people to interrupt into the area of the Tumbuka were the Mlowoka's. This was a group of people who came from the east coast of the Indian Ocean and were looking for Ivory trade which was abundant in the area. They crossed Lake Malawi on dhows resulting in their nickname 'BaLowoka', meaning those who crossed the lake whilst their leader was named Mlowoka, the one who crossed the lake. This was around the second half of the 18th century. The Mlowoka's established themselves peacefully among the Tumbuka and later their leader intermarried with the local inhabitants.

    Exploring Perspectives That Underpin Decisions for Southern African Urban Development

    Exploring perspectives that underpin decisions for southern African urban development FRACTAL Think Piece ​|​ April 2019 ​|​ Produced by Cross-Cutting Cluster Part of the CDKN-funded research within Future Climate For Africa (FCFA) Research team Wilma Nchito, Brenda Mwalukanga, Chipampata Musonda, Bernard Thole, Burnet Mkandawire, Tawina Mlowa, Dereck Mamiwa, Chipo Plaxedes Mubaya, Rudo Mamombe, Natsai Kushata and Alice McClure Summary The objective of the Future Resilience of African CiTies and Lands (FRACTAL) innovation fund programme was to increase the capacity of Early Career Researchers (ECRs) to advance the frontiers of research related to effective regional responses to climate variability and change. The design of the innovation fund project was catalysed by initial FRACTAL findings about the complexity of decision spaces in rapidly growing cities in southern Africa. In light of this complexity, ​Exploring perspectives that underpin decisions for southern African urban development aimed to unpack real case studies of decisions that have been made in southern African cities in order to surface contextual characteristics that shape urban development in the region, including values, perspectives, attitudes and beliefs of those involved. The FRACTAL innovation project was designed so that research was strongly led by research institutions in southern Africa, outside of South Africa. Through this design, senior researchers at The Polytechnic, University of Malawi, Chinhoyi University of Technology and the University of Zambia mentored up to two ECRs from each city to undertake research. Work was carried out in three southern African cities taking part in FRACTAL, namely Blantyre, Harare and Lusaka. The research process in each city was guided by a loose structure.

Printing: Háskólaprent, Fálkagata 2, 107 Reykjavík, Iceland, May 2017 Abstract The geothermal and non-geothermal water chemistry, structures and geology associated with Chiweta geothermal prospect was studied. The aim was to identify structures and associated geology controlling the geothermal system recharge and discharge. It also necessitated to quantify main chemical and physical characteristics of the geothermal water. Litho-structural surface mapping and remote sensing data was used to delineate structures and associated geology. Hydrogeological, geothermal mapping coupled with water chemistry was used to track water movement and quantification of related processes. Tectonic structures play an essential role in enhancing water flow from recharge area, within the geothermal system and out flow zone of the Chiweta.

  • Lake Malawi Destination Guide

    Lake Malawi Destination Guide

    Lake Malawi Destination Guide Overview of Lake Malawi Occupying a fifth of the country, Lake Malawi is the third largest lake in Africa and home to more fish species than any other lake in the world. Also known as Lake Nyasa, it is often referred to as 'the calendar lake' because it is 365 miles (590km) long and 52 miles (85km) wide. Situated between Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania, this African Great Lake is about 40,000 years old, a product of the Great Rift Valley fault line. There are fishing villages to be found along the lakeshore where residents catch a range of local fish including chambo, kampango (catfish), lake salmon and tiger fish. The export of fish from the lake contributes significantly to the country's economy, and the delicious chambo, similar to bream, is served in most Malawian eateries. Visitors to Lake Malawi can see colourful mbuna fish in the water, while there are also occasional sightings of crocodiles, hippos, monkeys and African fish eagles along the shore. The nearby Eastern Miombo woodlands are home to African wild dogs. Swimming, snorkelling and diving are popular activities in the tropical waters of the lake, and many visitors also enjoy waterskiing, sailing and fishing. There are many options available for holiday accommodation at the lake, including resorts, guesthouses and caravan or camping parks. All budgets are catered for, with luxury lodges attracting the glamorous and humble campsites hosting families and backpackers. Cape Maclear is a well-developed lakeside town, and nearby Monkey Bay is a great holiday resort area. Club Makokola, near Mangochi, is also a popular resort.

This is further motivated by the recognition that the road network constitutes the single largest asset owned by the Government, and a less than optimal system of the management and maintenance of that asset generally results in huge losses for the national economy. In order to ensure management and maintenance of the PFR, the government is introducing the OPRC concept. The OPRC is a concept is a contracting approach in which the service provider is paid not for ‘inputs’ but rather for the results of the work executed under the contract i.e. the service provider’s performance under the contract. The initial phase of the project, supported by the World Bank will be implementing the Improved Rural Connectivity Project (IRCP) in some selected districts of Central, Eastern, Northern, Luapula, Southern and Muchinga Provinces. The project will be implemented in Eastern Province for a period of five (5) years from 2020 to 2025 using the Output and Performance Road Contract (OPRC) approach. GRZ thus intends to roll out the OPRC on the PFR Network covering a total of 14,333Kms country-wide.

The question is therefore being asked about the extent of alternative production areas in southern Africa (particularly in selected neighboring countries) for the range of crops which are presently produced sub-optimally under irrigation in South Africa. The objective of this study is therefore to provide an answer to this question with adequate confidence to allow the rational pursuit of this concept which could have far-reaching mutual benefit for southern African countries. The countries that were considered are Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Zambia.
