Meet Gastern Phuzo from Malawi

Gastern was born into a poor family in Monkey Bay, Malawi. Throughout his life, he struggled with poverty and sank into bad habits, including alcoholism and abuse towards his wife. At one time, for one straight week, he would just sleep outside of his house holding a bottle of beer in his hand.

However, one day he had a change of heart and turned to God for guidance. In 2019 he met a local leader of All Nations, and through repentance and baptism, he fully accepted Jesus Christ into his life. From there he began to break the chains that imprisoned him in darkness for many years. In 2020, he did a Pioneer Business Planting training that completely changed his life. Now he has a successful fishing business with 40 employees and he leads a network of house churches started among the unreached.

Disclaimer: numbers are a great way to show how God is impacting the world. But… they are just numbers. Behind every number are people, stories and communities. High numbers is never the end goal. The end goal is more disciples and churches planted among the neglected peoples of the earth. We receive our data from our local workers on the field. Numbers change all the time. Businesses stop and start, churches stop and start.

How we work

We are making church planting movements self-sustainable through the following steps.

1 Determine location

We mainly work with church planters that want to extend the reach of the gospel. We determine if the location has the vision, time and resources to focus on churchplanting and starting businesses.

2 Field consultation

In the 5 day interactive Pioneer Business Planting consultation participants will learn how to use business to reach the lost, to write a business plan and skills to start and manage their business.

3 Business plan

The participants start researching their communities. From there they gather all the necessary information and write their business plans.

4 Business coaching

Through regular meetings an experienced business coach will help the participants develop their business plan and develop further skills needed to start and grow the business.

5 Funding

Once the business has proven to be viable, the next phase is raising the capital to start. We encourage people to find funds locally through a bank, micro-finance institutions, personal savings, loans from friends and family etc. We also set up local FaithFunds to start the businesses.

6 Multiply businesses

The participants start the business, ongoing business coaching will be provided and when it grows new businesses will be started.

READ THIS ENCOURAGING STORY

Malawian local leader, Gastern never did proper budgeting in his life and business. He never saved and knew little about bookkeeping. After the training, he started to work on a business plan and opened his first business: a restaurant and small lodge. When fishermen travel through his village, they need a proper place to eat and sleep. Gastern gives them food and a place to sleep in his simple lodge. While these men are eating, he plays the audio bible in their language and shares Jesus with them.
