Introducing Friendship Ministry in Africa
Alcohol is a global leading risk factor for death and disease among individuals 15-49,
with highest rates of heavy alcohol consumption among drinkers in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Given identified gaps in mental, neurological, and substance use services, communityand church-based services are needed to support individuals looking to reduce or quit
harmful substance use. This qualitative study identified social and cultural perceptions
of alcohol among drinkers, community health workers, and Christian pastors in rural and
peri-urban Zambia.
The Malawi Disability Program is a congregation-led ministry located in Malawi. It consists of an adapted worship service called ‘Worship at the Cross’ designed to encourage participation for people with both physical and learning disabilities. The purpose of this case study and program evaluation was to measure the impact of this effort.
