Veritas College Malawi began its work in 1999 to make Bible and leadership training accessible to church leaders and members for whom residential Bible college training is out of reach. Since then, several thousand members in city churches and rural communities have been trained by a network of local facilitators from different churches and denominations.

What people say about our training
"I once was just a church goer with little knowledge of the Word of God. This changed when I was born again and now I want others to know what I have gained from knowing God. This is what motivates me to teach God's Word and because the participants are eager to learn. Moreover, I grow spiritually when I prepare for the lessons and Jesus says that the workers are few, and so I must help. I enjoy seeing participants grow in their understanding of the truth and learn to share it with others. This motivates me to equip others with God's Word. Veritas has also helped us holistically as we have learned to budget, save and use our money productively through the Village Savings and Loans programme"
