OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE - Malawi Partnership
“that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.”- Romans 1:12
In April 1992 Hamilton Church entered into a partnership relationship with the Naotcha CCAP (Christian Church of Africa Presbyterian) in Blantyre Malawi. For the last twenty plus years we have worked together as Sisters and Brothers in Christ, to encourage and support each other in the faith. Members of Hamilton have traveled to Africa and folks from Malawi have come and visited with us.
Both Congregations have gifts which, when shared with the other, enrich the life and witness of the other. Second Corinthians 8:13-15 is one key to understanding this. We at Hamilton stand in need of the Naotcha Church's gifts of joy, faith, love, music, simplicity and Spirit. The gifts we offer the church in Africa include administration, money, music, love, faith and Spirit. The gospel calls us to build each other up…to be mutually encouraged by each other's faith.
We have been blessed by this twenty year marriage with Naotcha.
