Dedza, Malawi … Funding made available through a major contributor has resulted in the construction of a new maize mill for the people in the Lintipi area of Malawi. The mill is located north of the Dedza Trading Center, and west of Highway M-1, in a remote mountainous area of Malawi. It is part of an ongoing project by MIBI, an outreach program of the Green Valley Church of Christ in Noblesville, Indiana, congregations in Malawi, and the Sunset International School in Lubbock, Texas.
MIBI stands for Malawi International Biblical Institute, and was created when Tribal Authority donated over 200 acres of land for the school project. When it is completed the site will house a major international preaching and leadership training facility to help develop the Christian community, along with other programs to assist the people to be self-sufficient.
Near the MIBI construction site, the Malawi Project is also assisting a grass roots Malawi organization, the Dzidalire Community Development Group, in the construction of a new medical facility. The Dedza District, and this area of Malawi in particular is one of the poorest regions of the country. Construction on this facility is expected to begin later this year.
