2010 Face-to-Face Meeting

While many objectives of the Network can be achieved with the WEB site and mailing list, nothing can really replace a Face-to-Face meeting to help generate understanding, camaradarie, and encourage sharing.  The Malawi Mission Network was first formed at a Face-to-Face meeting in August, 2003 near Louisville, KY.  We had approximately 30 people at the meeting and we shared what we were all doing and were gladened to see how much we all had in common but also how much we could learn from each other. Everyone felt this was an extremely valuable opportunity and they wanted to do it again.  Since then the meetings have been growing and improving every year.  In 2009 we had about 60 people attending in Atlanta.

As valuable and interesting as the formal presentations are, probably the most valuable part of the Meeting is the chance to meet and network with others with the same interests as you, and likely very different experiences you can both learn from.

We  have an exciting program planned for this conference.   We will have two representatives from the Malawian Embassy to the USA  as our keynote speakers, Rhino Mchenga, Head of Chancery & Counselor and Yvonne Kalumo, First Secretary, Communications & Tourism.

The AGENDA is now firm.  (Click HERE to see it) - and it looks to be another exciting time.

We have extended the schedule to include breakfast on Sunday so that we can have enough time on Saturday to take advantage of the gathering of so many people and not feel so rushed to 'get away'.

We have a great publicity flyer you can use to publicize this event in your own church or area.  Check out this PDF File.
