21 June 2007 | 07-0480 | Malawi graduations to go ahead despite lack of government support

Blantyre, Malawi (ENI). Two of Malawi's Christian universities - the University of Livingstonia and Malawi Adventist University - are to go ahead with the graduation of their first intake of students despite the fact that the government of this central African country has not yet accredited the institutions.

Nyasa Times reports about Constance Kachoka, a marketing graduate from MAU in Ntcheu.

Matandani: The Second Adventist Mission in Malawi by Yonah Hisbon Matemba

"The contribution of the Matandani mission to Adventist work between 1908 and 1989 through evangelisation and education resounded in Malawi and beyond. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, students from Botswana, Uganda and Rwanda came to attend its industrial training school. In the periphery of the mission, a number of out-schools and churches were established and new mission stations opened.

"This study provides material and analysis of the history of the Matandani mission, tracing its origins, development and decline. It argues that its decline represents a useful paradigm illustrating the current status of many Adventist missions in Africa since the onset of the shift towards indigenisation.

The South African Conference has been carry- ing on a mission in Basutoland. Only recently a special work of grace is reported in the mission. By just such experiences the Lord has often pre- pared the way for great expansion in the African field. For instance, in Livingstone's day, the Nyassa region was the darkest of spots — the open sore of the world. When he laid down his life, British Christians were stirred and missions were pressed into the region. The chiefs opposed' schools for fear the fierce spirit of war would be broken down. The workers waited. TUie land was full of strife and bloodshed. But gradually schools were opened. And then,—

" A conscience began to awaken, the shedding of blood began to seem horrible, and these awful raids a crime. At last the missionaries awakened to the fact that the armies were no longer going out to devastate, the war dresses were rotting on the village treetops, and the peace of the gospel has come to triumph."

Later, as a Christian community was formed, the Spirit of God touched hearts and native teachers began to work for the joy of serving the Master. People crowded to hear the Word. Deputations came in from other parts begging for schools. And thus came a great awakening that made a new field of the entire district. In our own work in Africa, we begin to see the repetition of some of these experiences written in the mission story of the Dark Continent; and God forbid that we should be slow to respond to the call for help. " By a sharp turn of God's providence we have this year been led into the Nyassa country our- selves. Two families, those of Brethren Booth and Branch are there, gathering up the work which Brother Booth formerly had at the Cholo station. Sabbath-keeping native teachers are doubtless already in training for service in carrying the mes- sage into regions farther beyond. Here is where the very natives had the grace of. God in their hearts to insist that the fourth commandment should be obeyed as it reads, -rebuking even the missionary for his disobedience.

FROM a, private .letter of August 24, written at "Plainfield Mission Station, Cholo, British Central Africa," we learn that Brother Joseph Booth and family had reached the end of their long jour- ney, and were again settled in their for- mer field of work. Of the other members of the party Brother Booth says: "Our very good friends, the Branch family, were 'separated from us August 9 at Chinde, the mouth of the Zambesi River, by the action1 of the British officialSj so that, we had to come, forward alone. It appears there is a disposition to close the door of entrance to" the American negro in. the British official circles so far as South and -East Africa are con- cerned. However, I learn to-day, that after.seven or eight days' detention; at Chinde, the Branch family have T'feen allowed t« follow, and we expect their arrival in a few -days." We are thankful that the,-protecting care of our Heavenly Father has been over these fellow work- ers in all their experiences, and shall hope to have reports from time to time of the progress of their work in spread- ing the message in the dark continent.

British Central Africa

CHOLO.— In company with our co-laiborers, Brother Joseph Booth, his wife and little daughter, we sailed from Southampton on the " R. M. S. Saxon," June 28, 1902, for our future field of labor in British Central Africa. We sailed over a smooth sea for sixteen days, and arrived at Cape Town, South Africa. There we were met by Elders Reaser and Hyatt, who gave us a hearty welcome, and made our two days' stay a 1 very pleasant one. Cape Town is a beautiful place, with a large number of natives. A vast amount of missionary work needs to be done there.

Our next stop was at Durban, Natal, where we stayed for a week. While here, we had the pleasure of attending two services of the Zulus. Although they have not the light of the third angel's message, their devotion, according to their light, is marvelous. No work is being done for the natives.

During our long and interesting journey we had varied experiences, some of them being very pleasant. We trust that all were profitable; we endeavored to make them stepping stones to the kingdom, remembering that it is written, "In your patience possess ye your souls." (Luke 21:19)

At Chinde, East Africa, situated at the mouth of the Zambesi River, we were detained nine days by the British consul, because we were educated Afro-American missionaries.

Brother Booth remained three days with us, working zealously to get the detention removed, but without success. Then he proceeded to Cholo to take possession of the mission. After the expiration of nine days were were premitted to proceed up the river. We left Chinde on the 14th of August, and arrived in Cholo on the 29th.

We were glad to reach our destination, where we were heartily received by Brother Booth and the natives, who were out to meet us in large numbers. Cholo is a beautiful place situated among the mountains, three thousand feet above sea level. Many beautiful trees, flowers, and fruits cover the plains and mountains. Yet the marks of sin are visible everywhere.

This is indeed a needy field. It is the duty of Christian mothers to teach these heathen mothers what home is, and what are the duties thereof. They seem anxious and willing to learn. It needs only the wisdom and love of God in the heart to begin with them.

We have a flourishing school of about forty, some of whom are women and children, but the greater number are young men.

We are all in good health and of good courage. Our desire is to work until He comes whose right it is to reign.

MRS. THOMAS BRANCH.
