Malawi

Blantrye Parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Malawi

Trinity supports the Lutheran Church in Blantyre, the largest city in Malawi. This parish consists of seven congregations as well as the parish center. The parish is led by the Rev. Justin Mofolo and his wife, Agnes.

In 2003 when Trinity laid plans to enlarge our worship center and gathering area the congregation voted to send a first fruits offering to Malawi for the construction of churches there. Trinity's gift went for the construction of four chapels. In 2004 a delegation of six Trinity people traveled to Malawi and visited all congregations of the Blantyre Parish.

The ELCM is noted for caring for children and has dozens of orphan feeding stations throughout the country.
