The United Methodist Churches across Malawi are growing and strive to serve the holistic needs of the communities where they serve. Pastors and their families struggle to survive, but are working diligently with their lay leaders to thrive. Daily subsistence is not to be taken for granted as pastors work very hard to provide for their families as well as assist and support their congregations and communities.
