Baptisms in Malawi


We share news of a historic event which took place at the GCI Blantyre congregation in Malawi in June. In an unprecedented development, 22 people accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour and were baptized in a single day. The 22 baptized converts were drawn from 4 different congregations, as follows: Chimbeta 3, Miseu 5, Mombezi 4, and Mpanda 10. We also share a significant highlight and positive development in the growth trajectory of the church in Malawi: 14 were youths aged 15–19 years.

This momentous occasion marked a significant milestone in the spiritual journey of these believers. The baptism sacrament was a powerful celebration of faith, with each individual publicly declaring their commitment to follow Jesus Christ. We rejoice in the Lord’s work in their lives and pray that they will continue to grow in their faith. This event is a powerful testament to the effectiveness of our discipleship efforts, and the impact of the gospel in our community. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve and worship together as a body of believers.

We will continue to provide discipleship and mentorship programs to support the spiritual growth of our new believers. We encourage the newly baptized individuals to share their testimonies and experience with others, inspiring further growth and evangelism within our communities and neighbourhoods. Glory and honour to our Lord Jesus Christ for the continued growth of his ongoing work in our midst.
