The Destination

Visiting Malawi

Lake Malawi

Our beachfront on Lake Malawi, 50 meters from the Conference Hall

Malawi is known as the "Warm Heart of Africa" — and for good reason. It is a land of breathtaking natural beauty, warm and welcoming people, and a depth of culture and faith found almost nowhere else on earth.

Our venue in Khwawa sits directly on the shore of Lake Malawi — one of Africa's great freshwater lakes and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Step off the grounds and onto the beach. Swim, kayak, snorkel, or watch the sun set over the water. The surrounding region offers wildlife, village cultural experiences, and a pace of life that resets the soul.

99% of Malawians identify as religious — it is one of the most faith-saturated and hospitable nations on earth. Visitors consistently describe Malawi as transformative.
