Malawi Trip Reports
|
Introduction. Since 1999, our preacher, Alan Hitchen, has gone to the African nation of Malawi to preach the gospel. He tends to spend four to six week there and focuses his efforts with congregations in some of the less urban areas of the country.

Below are weekly reports with related maps and pictures and/or sermons from Alan's trips while associated with the Holly Street church of Christ which sponsors this website.
In addition, brethren in Malawi have periodically suffered physically from natural calamities (drought, excessive rain) with resulting food shortages. Information about these conditions is also included below. However, this information should not be viewed as a solicitation of funds from the general public. Interested Christians should contact our preacher, Alan Hitchen, in harmony with the New Testament pattern per 1 Cor. 16:1-2. This activity does not involve Holly Street (which sponsors this website) as a "sponsoring church", nor any para-religious institutional organization.
