About Us

At Village Missionary Movement, we are passionate about proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ and empowering communities in Malawi to experience transformation and holistic development. Our organization is built on a foundation of faith, compassion, empowerment, and partnership, and we are committed to demonstrating God’s love and care to those in need.

Malawi, located in the heart of Africa, is one of the poorest countries in the world, with many communities facing significant challenges such as poverty, hunger, disease, and lack of access to education and healthcare. At Village Missionary Movement, we believe that Jesus Christ is the answer to these challenges, and that through His love and power, we can bring hope, healing, and transformation to individuals and communities.

Our Mission

To empower communities through evangelism, discipleship, leadership training, economic empowerment, and support for orphans and vulnerable children. We believe that by demonstrating God's love and compassion, we can transform lives and communities, and we are committed to working alongside local leaders, mission teams, and organizations to achieve this goal.

Our Vision

To see Malawi transformed by the power of the Gospel, where communities thrive in spiritual, economic, and social prosperity. We envision a future where every person has access to the love and message of Jesus Christ, and where local churches are empowered to lead and disciple their communities.

About Volunteering

Village Missionary Movement is a small grass-roots organisation so we rely heavily on the assistance and input of volunteers to help us drive new initiatives and grow the organisation and our impact. We welcome volunteers as both teams and individuals so whatever your background or position please do contact us if you would like to explore volunteer opportunities with us.

Please be aware that as a Christian organisation it is important to us that all volunteers share our values and so we do seek references from church pastors before we accept a volunteer placement or team. Please also note the following information which you should read thoroughly before contacting us:

Teams

Being a part of a volunteer team can be a fantastic way to not only experience some of the challenges we face every day but also make a real impact to the work that we do. People wishing to organise a team to visit our projects in Malawi should contact us through the website letting us know the dates of their availability and the sort of project they would like to be involved in. We welcome fresh ideas and input as one of the key benefits for us of having external teams visit is the skills, enthusiasm and vibrancy that they bring to our work helping us to reach and involve a greater number of people within the community

Individuals

Unfortunately as a small organisation we currently do not run internships or volunteer placement schemes for summer vacations or gap-year experiences. We do still encourage the support of individuals who wish to explore longer-term placements. We welcome the fresh ideas, the additional pairs of hands and the encouragement that all volunteers bring and we particularly seek the help and support of people who are self-starters and who are not afraid to dream big. We believe our God is big and therefore we should not limit ourselves to the things we think are humanly possible. All individuals wishing to explore such opportunities should be aware that as a small organisation we do not have the resources to provide any means of financial support and would expect you to be self-supporting.
