The number of rural churches in southern Malawi is growing rapidly. It is imperative that the new pastors of these churches receive regular training. Iris Ministries Canada has undertaken this need, now that the Lord has led a Canadian pastor and his wife to give leadership. David and Joanna Morrison and their young family moved to Bangula in September 2003 to direct the new Bible school, and classes began two weeks later. The current facilities could accommodate 60 first-year pastors. In order to train the second-year pastors in September 2004, another facility will need to be constructed this year.

To learn of the changes and growth in Malawi since these 'small' beginnings, you can view photos and read regular updates from the Southern Malawi Ministry Centre, and from the Morrisons' website, www.morrisonafrica.com.
