In 2015 during one of my many trips to Malawi I had the pleasure of meeting Chief Wilson of Wilson Village. She invited me to come to her village and "To help my people". I knew this was from God as I had a love for these people and my heart was already in Malawi. Chisomo Ministries Malawi/ Chisomo Support Ministries was born and in 2016 our work began.
