Pastor Duncan's News

PASTOR DUNCAN NYOZANI
My name is  Duncan Nyozani, pastor of Searchlight Ministries, a church located at Msema Village, along Migowi- Nambazo Road in Traditional Authority Kaduya, Phalombe District , in the southern region of Malawi. We are 90 kms from Blantyre city.
I am 33 years old, married to Maggie, and we have four children, three sons and one girl namely; Isaac, Mike, Brian and Emma.
I received Jesus Christ as my personal Savior in the year 1999, then later called to pastoral ministry in 2000 and in this same year its when I founded Searchlight Ministries. We have one congregation in Malawi and one in Mozambique. We have a vision to plant more churches in the near future.

There is a great price to pay in the work of soul winning. It is very clear that our responsibility is to evangelize to people for Christ. Lost souls must be brought to the place of repentance towards God and faith in Christ. [We reach out the saving message of our Lord Jesus Christ to the souls in the markets, remote villages, hospitals and in prison as well as and I am giving God all the glory because souls are been transformed for eternity.
