bishop turns his denomination into a church planting movement


Malawi is known as the “Warm heart of Africa”. This relatively small country with the friendliest people on earth has been a target of Muammar el Gaddafi of Libya. He has invested millions of US Dollars in the building of hundreds of Mosques in Malawi. DAWN Africa, through GPS research found 579 Mosques just on the eastern shores of Lake Malawi and down to the town of Zomba. The estimated population of this area is about 1.1 million people.

Bishop Harry Dwart Kaitano, heads up a denomination of over 500 churches comprising about 300 000 members. He felt it necessary to attend the church planting training that was conducted by Charles Gwengwe of the Association of Evangelicals in Malawi. Charles, using the Omega Course and “The Process of Planting a Church” said that Bishop Kaitano was the most faithful student in the class. To graduate, the students had to plant a church during the training. The Bishop planted four. At the graduation he remarked that he couldn’t wait to get all his pastors together so that he could train them to become church planter trainers.

In the last 6 months Bishop Kaitano has trained over 200 church planters and as a result planted over 100 more churches. His closing remark at the graduation was,” I will never be the same again”.
