Ministry of Hope in Malawi

Frank and Nancy Dimmock have been missionaries in Africa since 1985, and presently serve the people of Malawi through the Ministry of Hope. Frank is also the health coordinator for the Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) and southern Africa regional health consultant for the PC(USA).

The Ministry of Hope now operates two Crisis Nurseries, clinics caring for very young babies. Nancy Dimmock is administrator of the Crisis Nursery in Lilongwe. Volunteers Andy and Lisa Langdon arrived in 2006 to open the newer Crisis Nursery in Mzuzu. You may be interested in their family blog.

The Northern Outreach program in Ghana, reaching out to people who have migrated from the northern part of the country, was started in 1989. Today over 3,000 of these former Northerners worship in 50 full-fledged congregations and 11 preaching points. Most are new converts from traditional religions and come from a number of different ethnic groups. Worship and teaching is done in the language of the particular group. In addition to evangelism and church planting, other programs, such as job training and health education, are in place to meet the people's needs.
