Church Verification Report
What we checked

- The name resembles a personal name or title; weighed in the review
- Contact email reviewed (gmail.com, common for small churches)
- No website or social page was provided

What we found
We searched for a congregation called simply "Living" in Lilongwe and found no listing under that name, so we followed the contact email instead. The closest match is a Facebook page for "Living Christ Centred Church International", listed in Dedza, Malawi, described as a Pentecostal church focused on preparing souls for the second coming, with about 1,324 page likes; note that Dedza is a district south of Lilongwe, not Lilongwe itself. Other Lilongwe churches with similar names appear online (a Facebook page for The Living Christ Pentecostal Church, and Living Waters Church International's own website), but these are clearly separate bodies. The name does not appear in the Wikipedia list of Christian denominations in Malawi, and we found no directory entry, map listing, news article or denominational register naming this church in Lilongwe. We found no scam reports, warnings or complaints about it.
Our conclusion: An independent search turned up an active Facebook page for "Living Christ Centred Church International", a Pentecostal congregation in Malawi, which matches the contact email address livingchristcentredchurch@gmail.com exactly, so this is clearly a real congregation whose name was simply entered incompletely as "Living". The page is listed in Dedza rather than Lilongwe, which is a small discrepancy easily explained by a church with more than one
