A new partner with World Missionary Press [WMP] is spreading God\u2019s Word in some of the darkest places in Malawi: their prisons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malawi prisons are known for overcrowding and violence. Its 23 district prisons and other facilities are meant to hold only 7,000 people yet currently hold more than 16,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
[WMP\u2019s] Helen Williams explains that a new local partner has forged a positive relationship with prison officials just this year. They visited the Zomba and Domasi facilities, where they shared worship songs, teaching, preaching, and testimonies, plus Scripture booklets with inmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe prison authorities, chaplain, and those in charge of the prisoners took [our partners] aside and told them the best way to interact with the prisoners. It was well organized,\u201d Williams says. \u201cThere was a foundation to build on for this. It wasn\u2019t just \u2018walk in and hand out something.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the Zomba prison, the team met with 350 inmates, and 210 of these men accepted Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen they were finished there, the authorities that had let them come in and share said, \u2018You\u2019re welcome to any prison in Malawi to reach out and win souls, because your help is urgently needed where the inmates are desperate to get a hold of God\u2019s Word.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
