FROM VISION TO REALITY
THE STORY OF A SCHOOL

From a God-given vision to a place where children learn and grow — this is the journey of TURM Nursery & Primary School.

  • People & Vision
  • A community came together with a shared dream to educate their children.
  • Footings & Walls
  • Foundations were laid and walls rose from the red earth of Zambia.
  • Roof & Windows
  • A roof overhead and windows to let the light of learning pour in.
  • A School
  • From vision to reality — TURM Nursery & Primary School was born.
BUILDING WITH FAITH
BRICK BY BRICK

First, there were people, a vision. Then there were footings, walls.

A floor, a roof, windows, a building — and then a school!

NEW INITIATIVE
Adult Education
Lilongwe, Malawi
Empowering Adults Through Literacy
The Lilongwe school has taken a commendable step forward by introducing an adult education program as part of its charitable efforts. This pioneering initiative assists adults who are eager to learn how to read and write, providing them with essential skills that can transform their lives and unlock new opportunities.
The establishment of this adult school reflects the ministry's deep commitment to community development and lifelong learning. By creating an inclusive environment where both children and adults can thrive and grow together, the programme embodies the belief that it is never too late to learn — and that education is a powerful tool for change, all under the umbrella of charity.

Feeding the Least of These
The church runs a vital feeding program that provides meals to children after church services. This program is truly helping many kids whose parents cannot afford to feed them during the day, ensuring that no child goes hungry when they come to worship.
But this initiative goes far beyond physical nourishment. The feeding program brings children closer to God, creating an environment where they experience His love in a tangible way. Since we started this program, the number of kids attending Samuel House (Sunday School) has dramatically increased in both Malawi and Zambia.
