However, the work needs support. Below is Antony’s own explanation on the work and appeal for support. We appeal for your partnership in this church planting work.

While we are committed to preaching the gospel to all kinds of people, our main mission field are the youths because they are in majority in the country. Seventy percent of the population in Malawi is youthful.

Secondly, the youths are proving to be more receptive to the gospel and the Reformed faith than the older generation. However, young people seem to be opening up for the gospel and sound doctrine.

Thirdly, the youths have been most affected by the social, political and economic crisis in the country. Many of them come from broken homes, live in abject poverty, are unemployed and exploited by political leaders. We believe that the solution to their transformation is the gospel as it is the power of God for salvation (Romans 1:16).

Pray that:

• God will continue to give Pastor Antony strengthen and wisdom in leading the work.
• God will prosper the gospel proclamation by the church to the community.

• Support toward purchase of land: Consider contributing towards the purchase of land. We have identified land and the seller has allowed us to be meeting on it while we settle the balance. We need USD5,000 to complete the balance.
• Support towards the building of restrooms. There is no restroom in the current place of gathering. Construction of restrooms will be a huge blessing to us. We need USD2,500 for the project.

My name is Antony Malunga Zuze and I am 42 years old. I am married to my wife Kate and we are blessed with a son named Paulito, who is three years old. I was born on 9 September 1982 in the capital city of Malawi called Lilongwe. I am the sixth born from a family of seven children. I was raised in a Christian society and my parents are Catholics. Since the year 2000, I was also an active member of the Catholic Church. I started and completed my primary education at Lilongwe Boys Primary School in Lilongwe township. I went to college to study Computer Engineering at the New Horizon Training College.

During these times before my conversion, I lived my life in a worldly manner. I was a heavy alcoholic and a party animal. I lived a very sinful life until 8 October 2001. That day, through some circumstances, I attended a church called Calvary Family Church in Lilongwe township. There I heard the gospel, which changed my life entirely. I learned about the love and sacrifice of Christ, which caused me to accept him as my Lord and Saviour. This message truly changed me for good, and still continues to transform me in ways no man ever could. Words cannot explain the peace and joy I have in my heart from the gospel.

After I got saved I could still feel that something in me was not complete. I could feel my heart was empty, and I needed to fill it with the word of God in order to strengthen me and carry me through my Christian life. My passion for God continues to grow every day. I feel convicted each time I pray. Each time I read the Bible I can feel the Lord drawing close. I soon realised there was nothing more fulfilling than serving God.

Some years ago I joined my friends on a mission trip to the Dedza District in Malawi. While I was there, I felt a strong desire that God was calling me to serve him. I kept on thinking about my fellow brothers and sisters who are still in the world and did not know Jesus. That day I felt a heavy burden for the lost souls I knew. This is when I began to help in youth ministry and began to learn more about the trinitarian God.

My desire to serve was growing. Even though I was serving I felt inadequate. I needed to study God’s word in a formal setting. Thank God for my brother in Christ, Gideon McGovern Mpeni, who recommended me to study at seminary. I took his counsel and went to seminary. I studied there for four years.
