Meet the David Livingstone Christian Academy

Meet the DLCA school! This school was founded by Reverend Van der Bas (HHK) to promote biblical knowledge and provide high quality education to young people in Malawi. It is the first and only reformed high school in Malawi. Because of the return of Rev. Van der Bas to the Netherlands, he requested for Timotheos to take over the board of the DLCA school. Friday, February 3 was the ceremonial transfer - a very special moment!

Ceremonial Transfer - After an opening by Rev. Ben (Timotheos Malawi board member) and a tour of the facilities, the official moment was held. Rev. Van der Bas meditated on Matthew 28:16-20. A large envelope with an even bigger (almost) pink bow is ready. In the picture you can see Rev. Van der Bas symbolically handing over the envelope with official documents to Rev. Falamenga, board member of Timotheos Malawi. He puts a Bible on top of the papers. "This is the most important thing: the biblical identity of the school." In the front of the Bible he wrote the text from Matthew 28: 19-20. After a firm handshake, Rev. Falamenga stresses that Timotheos certainly wants to keep this identity. The board of the school is now in the hands of the Timotheos Foundation. Such a special day indeed.

A lot is involved in the taking over the management of the school, but it is also special that the school can continue. We will take you through the process in the coming months and hope to give you an insight into the school soon.
