Remembering Pastor Anthony Kapindula
In the second week of April 2025, Pastor Anthony was unexpectedly admitted to a local hospital. On April 25, 2025, Pastor Anthony passed away and was called home by God. Pastor Anthony worked tirelessly as a missionary within his own country of Malawi. He attended the Malawi Assemblies Theological Seminary and was pursuing his master's in divinity. He led over 300 members across the distant and challenging landscape of rural communities around Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi. He taught this large congregation with over 14 Bible study centers that he set up across the region.
Malawi Bible Fundraiser
Between October 2023 and April 2024, a fundraiser was completed to raise funds for over 100 Bibles to be purchased for believers in Pastor Anthony's congregation. As funds became available, the project was completed in two stages. The first round featured 40 Bibles in the local Chichewa language as well as 28 English NKJV. The second round featured another 40 Chichewa Bibles that were procured and distributed amongst another portion of Pastor Anthony's congregation.
Endless Work
Alongside the Bible program, various other loving works were accomplished. Above features a meal which was graciously organized for orphaned children, baptism's were carried out for those who came to Christ and proclaimed their faith, the Word of God was shared with an innumerable amount of people through evangelistic walks that lasted days passing through various towns and cities, and God loving elders adopted handicapped children. This small summary does not even do justice to share how much the Holy Spirit works in people through dedicated and faithful believers such as Pastor Anthony. The goal of this commemoration is not to bring pride to the works and partnership between BWCM and BWM, but to testify and illuminate the gracious, joyous, and wonderful work of God through regions of the world in whose accounts may not reach Western countries such as America. This is a testimony that the Christian community can rise together by the Spirit's empowerment to accomplish mighty works even through a small website such as this and an unforeseen partnership in a developing region in an African country across the world.
Continued Work
With the passing of Pastor Anthony, his brother, Manase Biziwick is now operating Bethel Worship Centre Ministry to continue the work that God began. Ties are not broken between the partnership of BWCM and BWM. For now, there will be a pause in updates as new directions are taken and worked through. In the meantime, there is a current fundraiser for Bibles to be purchased for our other partner church, Bliss Heavens Dew Ministry in Ghana. The goal consists of raising $1,000 in order to acquire 50 Bibles for Pastor Emmanuel's congregation. BHDM is a charismatic Bible-believing church that seeks to expand and bring new individuals to Christ.
Free Bible Program (Domestic)
Over the course of only a few months, the free Bible program for the USA had grown incredibly large. The goal for this program was that at any time, someone domestically in need of a Bible could order one at no cost. It began with only a few requests a week, and quickly grew to a few a day and then to over 10 each day. The ministry quickly fell behind, and the number of requests quickly grew to an unmanageable number. The program had not received many financial contributions. With inflation causing the cost of bulk Bibles to double and packing materials such as boxes and postage to increase, these complications led to a quick pause on the program. At the beginning of the program, most Bibles with shipping costs were delivered for around $8 in total. The average price has now jumped up to $18. This is a program that the ministry wants to continue. For the near future, it seems that it will remain on break until funding is secured. In the meantime, those without Bibles are able to download a digital NIV translation on our website. We also suggest viewing apps such as BibleGateway for free digital Bibles online and on your devices.
Message From The Founder
I founded this online ministry as a response to God calling me to ministry. I was saved in the spring of 2021 and quickly heard God's calling on my life to teach and preach God's word. In the spring of 2022, I began my education for a degree in Christian Ministry to equip myself for the role I am being called to. After nearly 4 years, I am coming to the completion of this degree. My calling to ministry is not only to teach God's word, but to share it amongst the nations, which God has graciously given me the opportunity through friendships with Pastor Anthony, Pastor Emmanuel, Manase Biziwick, and many others. The mission statement, "Dedicated to guiding souls to eternal life through the grace of Jesus Christ," is the core of my calling. After coming to conviction and understanding, I am humbly offering myself to the Holy Spirit as a tool He can use to bring people to the Father through the work of Jesus on the Cross. My direction is not completely clear yet. I may continue my education into local ordination. However, I want to grow this website alongside whatever local opportunities God places me in as an online platform to share the Gospel with a larger audience, reaching the far corners of Earth to fulfill the depths of the Great Commission. By God's grace and provision, I pray that He will be able to reach those whom He has elected through this ministry.
