What we found
We searched for "Light of the World Church and Ministry" together with Monkey Bay and Malawi, and found no listing, page, or mention that matches this congregation. The results returned only unrelated churches with similar names in other countries, such as one in Botswana (lotwbotswana.org), several in the United States (lwcpa.org, lovelwcc.org, faithstreet.com), and Light of the World Christian Ministries International in Ghana and New York (christthelight.org). A church directory entry does exist for a "Light of the World Pentecostal Church" in Malawi, but it is registered in Blantyre with a Chichiri post box, not in Monkey Bay, so it appears to be a different body. A search on the contact email address returned no matching page either, only other ministries with similar Gmail addresses. The findings are summarized here for space; the full research was weighed in the review.
Our conclusion: The congregation replied from the address on file, describing itself as a small church and ministry in Monkey Bay, Mangochi District, and sent photographs and two video clips as proof, along with the name of Pastor Clifford Masambuka of Book of Life Ministry, who supplies it with evangelism materials and can vouch for it. The photo and video attachments were shared as private cloud-storage links rather than public pages, so we could not open them
No further action is needed. This report is refreshed whenever the church is reviewed again.
