CHIEFS GET THE WORD From June 2015 Y-Malawi Bulletin Issue No. 1
In 2007, Evangelical Association of Malawi (EAM) started
Chiefs Ministry, a fellowship of traditional leaders, as one way
of empowering the leaders spiritually. Through Chiefs
Ministry most chiefs around Nkhoma have bid farewell to
cults and ill traditional practices.
Village Headwoman Chinkhwali is one of the traditional leaders who participates in Chiefs
Ministry. She says, “Through Chiefs ministries I have learned to read the Bible. I now
understand that idolatry is not good.” She also encourages her community together to
attend church.
EAM stresses the need to take the fellowship to other villages where Chiefs Ministry has
not reached. Chiefs Ministry Coordinator Amos Chibisa says the rationale of the fellowship
is to train chiefs to become preachers in their communities so as to create a God fearing
community.
Please keep our
Y-Malawi
partners in your
prayers. If you
would like to
serve with them
next summer,
contact Kim
Nicolai at
[email protected]. One Chiefs Ministry Bible Study visited by Sheryl France-Moran and

Notes from Ministry Support
Thank you for your strong showing, thoughtful questions and
ultimate support of refinancing our mortgage. Since that meet-
ing, the loan closed August 31st, with an even lower 3.20%
rate. These savings will help us hopefully replenish our reserves
going forward. Additionally, we have made the payments to our
Missions Partners. We ask that you continue to pray for SCPC,
our joint ministry and ask that you consider a special gift as we
work together to be a Community for the community.
