Papalala Za Ongwala (the wings of the Eagle)
All of the proceeds from the sale of Shirley's paintings go to the Eagle Wings Christian Family. Eagle Wings is Chiomba Nkhanga in Chchewa. Eagle Wings is made up of a very small group of Christians, who support five local Malawian missionaries and their families in their work. Eagle Wings is not a charity organisation, instead it aims to help Malawians to become self sufficient. https://www.facebook.com/wingsofmalawi/
Isaiah 40:31 “but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles they will run and not grow weary they will walk and not be faint.”
Testimony from our Pastor Kestina
years I started having a bad headache. Against my grandma’s wishes my parents took me to a witch doctor. Testimony of Pastor Kestina written by Kestina
I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ.My short testimony how I came to know Jesus Christ as my lord.When I was four year my parents sent me to live with my grandmum whom taught me to pray .Sometimes she showed me trees saying they are God's creation.
At eight years I started singing in a junior choir and proved a good leader. At ten years I knew many friends some of whom led me astray
It was at fourteen year I had a dream which showed me a woman dressed in purple skirt and a white blouse.I ignored I had then a second dream that showed me preaching to multitudes but I wanted to become a nurse. Once a Presbyterian Rev came to see me and my grandmum but I went to hide. until he left. At sixteen years I started having a bad headache. Against my grandma’s wishes my parents took me to a witch doctor. but I got worse. I failed my school exams., because of headache.When I got married just in three months that dream of purple skirt and white blouse came again but I did not tell my husband Pastor Steven. Then two years after marrying God revealed to me to work for Him.When the third dream came about preaching I started going with my husband to open air rallies where one day a very small woman was preaching about man's sins and the need to repent and accept Christ as the only saviour through faith. She asked the sick to go Infront to be prayed a thing I did quickly she never touched me but she turned her eyes straight to me for almost two minutes I was healed.Later I was daily compelled to go to door to door exangelism with my husband and this spirit grows in me daily .I thank Eagle Wings to come in to help me and my husband fulfil the role of a preacher to work side by side with Steven Some of my already started tasks are Bible study groups,teaching married women on successful marriages,and knitting for newborns I pray and Thank God for you my fellow women and men of God for you are a gift to me.( interestingly the Baptist woman’s uniform is white blouse and purple head dress and Skirt) now am a pastor. I’m preaching to many woman.
Pastor Charles in Blantyre June 2025

Working together Pastor Charles with my wife Odita is going well. June 2025
We are used to visit hospital twice a week and if we have members who are admitted we increase our visit.
At prision our visit is not often about once per month.
On average through my preaching average per month 5 peaple accept Christ as their Lord and Savior.
My favorite scripture is Genesis 50:19-20.
My favorite hymn is "Take up the cross and follow me, I heard my master say"
One of the best sermon I preached was titled "Characters of the godly man" It was from Matthews 1:18-25.
The first point was righteousness.
Joseph righteous in his heart.
The second point was patience.
Joseph was patience enough after learn that Mary was pregnant.
The third point was tolerance.
Joseph accepted the advice of God through the Angel. He took the role of the father of Jesus by naming and caring Jesus.
On challenges one of major the challenge is the school fees of both the children and myself. I wanted to persue with my education in theologian . To enhance my calling.
Righteousness my late child is at nursery school.the only one not needing school fees.
Apart from my children, I am also supporting Alice with school fees upon knowing that she is a needy student. She is in form one.
For future I hope to do my masters in Theological Christian leadership.
The support of money that I am receiving from Eagle Wings Ministry helps .
Being in Town I don’t have crops and it’s more expensive buying food and rent etc. However in the past my fellow pastor Julius has helped me.
With thanks for the much needed support.
Pastor Charles Tsegula.
Giving with love
Encouraging Testimony from Our regular donor Robyn - thank you Robyn
Robyn’s giving
When I was much younger and in a nominal Christian family,I didn't know about mission, When I came to know Jesus's in a real and personal way, the holy spirit planted a deep longing inside me. To bring the gospel of Jesus's christ, and relief to the hardships of life. To distant and harsh lands.
I found a spiritual home, In rainworth gospel mission. A little church where there was sound doctrine and teaching. I knew my offering was for the costs of maintaining the church. Also for mission to Sudan,(named Sudan United mission. Everyone contributed what they could. Our pastor recently passed away. I still have a beautiful friendship with his wife whom is now 99 years of age and lives caloundra . She gave EWM a one off gift.
When I meet Shirley and later Judy - and Veronica,I was filled with a passion to give, all i could to support. Towards the ministries of Eagles wings pastors. To bring hope and new life in christ to the Malawian people.
What really cemented my desire to give to Eagles wings, was the fact that my friend Shirley was born in Malawi. She knows the people and the culture and customs well. She is a woman of Christian integrity who, denies herself to give, all she can to bring her people to Jesus's. And to aid in relieving their suffering.
Also I know that there are no administration costs as with other big ministries. That Judy’s heart is also in this ministry and Veronica. That every dollar goes to where it is meant to go. Where it is most needed. It also meant a lot to me that eagle wings pastors are native born Malawian. They are able to relate to their own people, far better than an outsider ever could.
So I love. Supporting Eagles wings gives me great joy and I know I am greatly blessed by giving to this ministry the 7th poorest country in the world.
Recently I was privileged to buy pastor steven Land.I received an e mail of Thanks that brought tears toMy eyes. May God have all the Glory.March 2025

Pastor Kennedy and Kondwani Banda
Pastor Kennedy and Kondwani. Banda
Central North near Zambia
Most villages here are the people whose religion closely resembles African Traditional Religion (ATR), which allows drinking alcohol and marrying multiple wives.
Through my door to door preachings and sharing the word of God
, a number of families have now accepted Jesus as their Savior.
Their faith originated from the Scriptures that we find in the book of John 14:6, 1 John 1:9, Romans 10:9, and John 1:12. The words from these books made them realize that Jesus is their Savior.
It is with joy that am able to travel by motorcycle with my grandson driving
Due a stroke I’m
Unable to walk far.
I really love sharing the word of John 14:6 and Romans 3:23 with people, and other parts of the Bible. So that they may realize that we are all sinners and need to repent in order to receive salvation.
Thank you so much, for encouraging and supporting not just myself but my wife kondwani. As we carry on doing what God calls us to do each and everyday sharing Jesus.
