It has been established that the greater part of the literature on Christianity in Africa has been written by European missionaries. However sympathetic they might be with African life and culture, these inevitably are conditioned by a Eurocentric perspective. African scholars play the central role in this process and, happily, many of the restrictions which hampered the production of African historical literature in the colonial and early post-independence periods, have now fallen away. of minority or subjugated ethnic groups, and of critics of Christian expansion such as Muslims and practitioners of African traditional religion. All of this gives rise to a church historiography that is much more diverse, contested, indigenous, and contextual than anything available in the past.

Extractions: Physical. Malawi, located in Southern Africa east of Zambia, is slightly smaller than Pennsylvania. Its highly tropical climate features a rainy season from November to May and a dry season from May to November. Its terrain includes a narrow elongated plateau, rolling plains and some mountains. The eastern/central area of the country is dominated by Lake Malawi, the third largest lake in Africa. Natural resources include limestone, arable land, hydropower, uranium, coal, and bauxite. People. More than 10.7 million people reside in Malawi. Inhabitants recognize both English and Chichewa as their official languages, with other languages used regionally. Ethnic groups include Chewa, Nyanja, Tumbako, Yao, Lumwe, Sena, Tonga, Ngoni, and Ngonde, with small Asian and European populations as well. The major religions in Malawi are: Protestant (55%), Roman Catholic (20%), and Muslim (20%) with the remainder of people engaging in traditional indigenous customs. Government. The Republic of Malawi has 24 voting districts and a legal system based on English common law and customary law, as it employs judicial review of legislative acts in the Supreme Court of Appeals. Its current constitution was ratified on May 18, 1994. The election of current president Muluzi and his United Democratic Front (UDF) in 1994 ended 30 years of dictatorial rule by Dr. Hastings Banda. The government has suffered from its inability to bring improvement to the weak economy, which is largely dependent on tobacco production. The spread of the HIV/AIDs pandemic and a rising crime rate have also shaken public confidence. The grain scandal (see Economy below) has caused difficulties in Muluzis attempt to pass a bill that would allow him to serve a third term. In his drive to stay in power, there have been reports of systematic intimidation directed against his opponents.

This is especially true among unreached people groups like the Lomwe and Macua in Mozambique. Even though books are available from other Portuguese speaking countries such as Portugal and Brazil, the language and illustrations cannot be understood by uneducated people. They need to have resources in their own indigenous languages. Some books and the Jesus film have already been translated. The Mozambican School of the Bible helps OM to print books (in South Africa). The biggest challenge is to then import the books into Mozambique, we are praying to find a printer in Mozambique who can handle this type of work.
