What God Did Through a Malawi Mission Trip: From Village Welcome to Lasting Discipleship
A recent Malawi mission trip through FBC Boerne became a powerful reminder that when the gospel is shared and disciples are equipped, the impact can reach far beyond a single visit.
In this episode of the SO THAT Missions Podcast, Brittany Whitworth sits down with church member Lori Rogers to talk about her experience traveling to Masinja Village in Malawi. What began as a short-term mission trip quickly became a front-row seat to how God is already moving among the nations.
Throughout the trip, the team helped lead Foundations training, a discipleship tool that walks new believers through the story of the Bible—from creation to redemption through Jesus Christ. The goal wasn’t simply to teach for a week, but to equip local believers with a biblical foundation so they can continue making disciples in their own community.
One of the most powerful moments of the Malawi mission trip came at the end of the team’s time in the village. As they prepared to leave, the entire community gathered again to sing, celebrate, and express their gratitude. Though many families have very little, the villagers gave gifts of deep significance—chickens, gourds, and whatever they had to offer.
For Lori, that moment captured something profound. The generosity of the village was a reflection of hearts that had been transformed by the gospel and eager to share what they had.
The impact of this Malawi mission trip continues even after the team returned home. With new believers equipped and local leaders continuing the work, the vision is for the gospel to spread from village to village as disciples make disciples.
