It&#8217;s known as&nbsp;<em>The Warm Heart of Africa&nbsp;<\/em>and anyone who has visited knows just how true that is!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Formerly known as&nbsp;<em>Nyasaland<\/em>, Malawi was familiar territory to the famous explorer, David Livingstone, and many place names in Malawi still hark back to that near-forgotten era when Livingstone worked tirelessly for the liberation of her people from the tyranny of slavery. At <em>Nkhotakota<\/em> on the northern lake shore you can visit the tree under whose shade he sat with local tribal leaders to negotiate the end of that villainous practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, though freed from the yoke of iron, millions in Malawi are still bound by the yoke of sin. What a privilege to carry to them the glorious Gospel of Christ &#8211; the only message which can free from the chains of sin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Cannot the love of Christ carry the missionary where the slave-trade carries the trader?
