parents; I was almost killed for believing in Jesus Christ in May
1982. My grandparents were associated with Arab slave traders in
Malawi. These Arabs were Muslims. Thus my grandparents were among the
pioneers of Islamic religion in Malawi. Our village is Islamic and my
family is a Muslim family.
From the age of 7 my Uncle began preparing me intensively for active
participation in the Muslim religion, he trained me in the principles
of the Islamic faith and taught me the practices of Muslim
propagation. All of the training was based on refuting the claims of
Christianity, by pointing to assumed errors of the Bible and it’s
teachings. I was instructed that there were over 50,000 errors in the
Bible. 
Naturally I became so committed to the anti Christian religion. In
1976 I was placed in the actual work. I joined the Islamic movement
whose goal was to confuse Christians, especially in their meetings.
This movement brought me into frequent contact with Christian workers,
especially freelance evangelists and consequently I became skilled in
presenting my arguments against Christianity and its book the Bible.
Many Christians became aware of my influence and began praying for me.
Though I was committed to the Islamic Faith I did the opposite of its
claims. I was doing magic, witchcraft, drinking beer, smoking,
involved in sexual immorality, fought with people, robbed and many
others. I saw these indignities as help in my aggressive approach to
Muslim propagation. It was a total (though blind) commitment.
The turning point came in 1982. My Uncle just returned from his trip
to Mecca and I was invited to a Christian meeting. I proudly accepted
and I was ready to fire confusing questions at these Christians about
their Bible. I sat at the back row. The gospel was preached and this
time I heard it differently. It was so powerful that I began paying
attention and I miraculously moved forward and knelt in front of the
preacher. There and then my life was transformed and I accepted Jesus
Christ as my personal Savior and the Lord on my life. I stopped
fighting against God. The peace of God subdued my worries.
stirred the hearts of all my relatives to attack me. I was severely
beaten by my uncle to the point that I fainted. The next three weeks I
was again severely beaten and fainted three times by the elders led by
my uncle. He was the first man to beat me. He beat me heavily with
his walking stick to the point of death in his house. He then ordered
that all my clothes, schoolbooks and papers be burnt. He also ordered
to take me to the circumcision camp. I was already circumcised but
this time it was to subject me to great pain so that I could renounce
Jesus Christ, the Bible and my new found faith in Christ.
to the camp. There I was tied upside down to a tree and I stayed
hanging there head down, five feet above the ground, for the whole
day. This was repeated for the next six days. They rubbed substances
all over my body and I was brutally beaten for three weeks, fainting
three times in the process. When my uncle saw that I was determined to
die as a Christian, but never to live as a Muslim, he ordered for my
release.
I was ordered to leave the village. During this time Christian
brothers opened their homes to me. They took care of me spiritually,
physically, paying my school fees and involved me in Christian
fellowship where I was asked to share my testimony to them and other
Christians. Many were convicted and challenged. In April 1984 I was
baptized in a Baptist Church.
among Muslim people in my area. The majority of the people that I work
among are Muslims, the youth and prisoners in jails in the rural area.
In my ministry I hold open-air meeting, conduct door to door
visitation, distribute gospel tracts among the lost and reach many
people with the word of God through Crusades. At the Crusades many
people who are sick are being healed and delivered from the bondage of
the devil.
Muslim villages and to serve the youth and prisoners in the jail.
Please pray for me that I will fulfill God’s plan to expand His
kingdom. Pray for me as they are still hunting for my life. But, God
our father is still protecting me. Romans 15:20 and Isaiah 54:17 are
two verses that really minister to me. God is always great. I praise
him for he is always faithful. I am now ready and prepared to work
with those who are ready to do the mission of reaching the unreached,
church planting and rural evangelism.
expansion of the great commission of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
