2013 Face-to-Face Meeting

While many objectives of the Network can be achieved with the WEB site and mailing list, nothing can really replace a Face-to-Face meeting to help generate understanding, camaradarie, and encourage sharing.  The Malawi Mission Network was first formed at a Face-to-Face meeting in August, 2003 near Louisville, KY.  We had approximately 30 people at the meeting and we shared what we were all doing and were gladdened to see how much we all had in common but also how much we could learn from each other. Everyone felt this was an extremely valuable opportunity and they wanted to do it again.  Since then the meetings have been growing and improving every year.    This year marks the 10th year of these conferences.

As valuable and interesting as the formal presentations are, probably the most valuable part of the Meeting is the chance to meet and network with others with the same interests as you, and likely very different experiences you can both learn from.

We  have lined up an exciting program for this conference.   Our Keynote speaker is Rev. Joseph P. V. Mwale, the Deputy General Secretary of Synod of Livingstonia. 

Begin planning now to join us for our next meeting. Registration Form (or Download a MS Word based Registration Form Here)  Reserve these dates and submit your registration now..

We will also have several PC(USA) Mission Co-Workers from Malawi plus some PC(USA) staff personnel.   See our Tentative AGENDA here - but keep checking back as it is still being modified.
