Fish help pastors fish for men in Malawi

The first fish are ready for market from an innovative programme based on the idea of training pastors to work the land and support their ministry by selling produce.

The charity Equipping Pastors Worldwide (EPW) – born from the recent merger of the Pastor Training International and Christian Books Worldwide charities – supports majority world pastors who long to be faithful in serving Christ, but who lack the training and resources to do so.

Joster Jumbe (pictured), who runs EPW’s hub in Malawi, has applied principles there from a programme in Zambia called ‘Farming God’s way’. He established a banana plantation which soon began to subsidise staff wages and the distribution of theological resources to rural pastors in the region.
