Philip and Robin Malcolm: Missionaries to West Africa
Phil and Robin currently serve the children of Africa. They are working across the region as children’s ministry specialists assisting national churches and missionaries to evangelize and disciple children. We have lived and worked in many countries across Africa since our appointment in 1998, but we currently live in Lomé, Togo, and work in the nations of West Africa.
Their vision is to see every national church in Africa effectively engaging in ministry to children through evangelism, discipleship, and compassionate outreach. Across Africa, the three most common needs in children’s ministry are: trained pastors and teachers; curriculum and resources appropriate to the culture and setting; and space for children’s ministries.
Their strategy is to help with each one of these needs as the Lord allows. They teach children’s ministry training seminars for lay-workers and for pastors and mentor national children’s ministry leaders. They develop curriculum and resources which are creative, affordable and culturally appropriate. And they work to help churches find solutions for children’s ministry space.
But our missionaries can’t do what they have been called to do alone. Our partnership with them matters.
As individuals and as a church, in Matthew 28: 18-20 Jesus tells, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,[a] baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age. “God into the world and make disciples. We can accomplish this great commission by supporting missionaries.
