2022 MMN VIRTUAL Conference

While we have been holding Malawi Mission Network Conferences since 2003, we have always been able to hold them in-person (Face-to-Face).  As you may know, the last 2 years we did not hold a face to face conference due to the Covid19 pandemic. In 2021, we held a very successful Virtual Conference. This year again, we are holding another Virtual Conference.  We hope that by 2023 we can get together Face-to-Face again, BUT for now we will be meeting and greeting via ZOOM. 

We have always felt that one of the most valuable parts of our conferences has been the opportunity to meet and network with others with the same interests and likely very different experiences we can learn from.  In order to facilitate this, we plan to include some "social times" when people logged on via Zoom will be able to un-mute and chat with others on-line.  With as many people as we expect, this could get a bit confusing, so we will set up several smaller "chat rooms" that participants can move to and continue discussions in smaller groups.

We  have lined up an exciting program for this conference.     We will also have social time, worship and prayer gatherings.
The tentative agenda is listed at the bottom of this page.

Registration deadline is July 29th, 2022  The Zoom links will NOT be posted on the web.  You must register and we will send you the links. We prefer you do not share the link we send to others not on your registration form.  This is so we have an idea of who attends.

While most of you may be well experienced with Zoom usage, there are a few instructions related to this conference that are important.  I urge you to please view and possibly print or save this file so you can refer to it.
