Malawi Government's Position on Homosexuality

Malawi on Same-Sex Marriage

I mentioned a while back that the Sodomites tried to spread a rumor that we are banned from Malawi because of my position on “gay marriage.” (Again, I don’t really talk about fag marriage, anyway—I talk about Romans 1 and Leviticus 20:13)

The following excerpt from Wikipedia discusses the fact that same-sex marriage has been banned in Malawi:

“On 17 April 2015, The Marriage, Divorce and Family Relations Law came into force and banned all same-sex marriages and unions. While the law was praised for raising the minimum age of heterosexual marriages from 16 to 18, it was at the same time condemned for the exclusion of homosexual couples and for its language stating that one's gender is assigned at birth. The new law does not allow people who have undergone gender reassignment surgery to marry someone of that person's prior gender and also draws comparisons of gay sex to rape and sexual harassment.”

Malawi on Immigration

The Malawi government also prohibits homosexuals from immigrating, putting them in the same category with prostitutes. The following is an excerpt from the Malawi government website regarding their immigration policy:

Part I - IMMIGRATION GENERALLY

4. Prohibited immigrants

(1)Subject to this Act, the following persons shall be prohibited immigrants and their entry into or presence within Malawi shall be unlawful

(g)any prostitute or homosexual, or any person, male or female, who lives or has lived on or knowingly receives or has received any part of the earnings of prostitution or homosexuality, or has procured men or women for immoral purposes;

36. Aiding and abetting unlawful entry

(2)Any person who commits any fraudulent act or makes any false representation by conduct, statement or otherwise for the purpose of facilitating or assisting the entry of himself or any other person into Malawi, contrary to this Act, shall be liable to the penalties prescribed in subsection (1).

Deportable Offenses in Malawi

Interestingly, sodomy is listed under deportable offenses:

12. Incest, sodomy, bestiality, indecent assault or any unnatural offence

Although the Malawi government no longer arrests their own people for committing homosexual acts, they aren’t exactly Sodomite friendly either. They consider sodomy an “unnatural offense,” they don’t let homos get married, and they certainly don’t want any more of them moving into their country. In light of these facts, I doubt the Malawi government will be surprised that, as a Christian pastor, I am also against sodomy.

Wanted: Laborers in Malawi

The official grand opening of Faithful Word Baptist Church in Lilongwe, Malawi, is scheduled for April 30, 2017.

We need people to come help us the week before and the week after April 30th for a soul-winning marathon. We had a large group from the U.S. and Canada with us on the Botswana trip, and we are praying we can get an even larger group together to go to Malawi. We plan to continuously send groups of soul winners down there, but this trip will be the big push for the official opening of the church. Many have already purchased their tickets for this exciting missions trip.

A while back, the Sodomites started a false rumor that I have been banned from Malawi for "condemning same sex marriage." This rumor was started by Gay SA Radio, and since then, several news agencies have published articles perpetuating this rumor. Well, I just got my Visa back in the mail, so I am obviously approved. The Malawi government has issued me a multiple-entry 12-month visa. Not only that, but a lot of soul-winning has already been done in Malawi on a recent survey trip by members of our church.

Read 'em and weep, Sodomites!

Same sex marriage is illegal in Malawi, so saying I have been banned for my views on that issue just doesn’t make sense. If even the government is against same-sex marriage, it would be ludicrous for them to expect a Christian pastor to condone it. Not to mention the fact that I never even talk about "same sex marriage." I talk about Leviticus 20:13 and Romans 1!

When I applied for the visa, I told them what I was going to be doing, what church I was with, and the other churches I would be in contact with while there. The media needs to stop printing lies and do some fact checking.

If you are able to get away for a couple of weeks, this is your chance to go on a unique missions trip to Africa that is actually about getting people saved. The soul winning is different in places like Botswana and Malawi because almost everybody you meet is willing to listen. Malawi is highly receptive to the Gospel, and there is something special about being at a church for the very first service. Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

You do need a visa to go to Malawi, but it’s easy to get one. Get in touch with us at the following e-mail address: faithfulword1@gmail.com if you are interested in going to Malawi, so we can coordinate with you and walk you through the process of getting the visa. If you can afford the plane ticket, a hundred dollars for the visa, and a little extra money to spend while you are there, you can join us for the big soul-winning push and historical opening day of the church.

Here is the video where I talk about the specific media lies.

We are already in Malawi

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Acts 1:8

Members of our church spent almost two weeks in Malawi last month, and things went really well. They’ve already put together a highly-motivated soul-winning team of six people, and in the short time that they were there, they saw a total of 162 souls saved!

Two local pastors, who are breaking away from local denominations are excited about helping with Faithful Word Baptist Church Malawi.

There’s always the possibility of being banned, but Lord willing, we will start the church there in April 2017.

Not only were the people of Malawi extremely receptive to the Gospel, but they really want to go to church and are looking forward to the launch of FWBC Malawi in April. One young man who had just gotten saved was asked what he would tell homosexuals that don’t want the church to be started there, and he replied that he would tell them to “go to Hell.”

Enough people in Malawi are fluent in English for us to conduct church services in English, but it is a blessing to already have some locals on our team who can also speak the native language of Chichewa. We plan to kick things off with another soul-winning marathon in April, which is a great opportunity for soul winners who are interested in going on another missions trip.

As always, the haters of God are trying to make this about our stand against homosexuality, but that’s not the focus of our church or this mission. When we have these mission trips, we are there to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and to train locals to do the same.
