Assembly for All Nations2026: The Year of Taking OverDeuteronomy 9:1–3
Our Story

From Lilongwe to the nations

A journey of faith, church planting, discipleship and global mission.

The Beginning

From Lilongwe to a global mission

Assembly for All Nations was founded in July 2015 in Lilongwe, Malawi, by Rev Dr Lusayo Efraim Mwanganya and Rev Mrs Charity Mwanganya. The church began with a conviction that the message of Jesus Christ must reach people beyond one congregation, one city and one nation.

From the beginning, AfAN’s direction has combined evangelism, discipleship, leadership development, church planting and the strengthening of local congregations. Its growth has therefore been understood not simply as expansion in numbers, but as the multiplication of healthy churches and prepared leaders.
