Crossroad Bible Institute Works in Malawi

Crossroad Bible Institute (CBI) has launched two new satellite campuses in Malawi in the midst of recent political instability.

Some stability has returned to Malawi, yet obstacles to improvement remain: Malawi is considered one of the least developed countries in the world, with low life expectancy, high infant mortality and a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS.

Overcrowded prisons, some at more than 200 percent capacity, are plagued by unsanitary conditions, and the judicial system is understaffed.

In this environment, however, Crossroad Bible Institute is providing prisoners with biblically based studies and steadfast support from the church. Two campuses have been opened in the country.

“Like other CBI satellites across the globe, these campuses offer the hope and dependability of the Gospel in the midst of political uncertainty, broken judiciary systems and inhumane prison conditions,” states Crossroad President Dr. H. David Schuringa.

Of 17 CBI satellites now operating internationally, seven are in Africa. CBI is recommended for support by the Christian Reformed Church.

CBI is a nonprofit prison ministry with over 42,000 students studying through satellite campuses on six continents. The program is provided at no cost to prisoners and their families.
