Meet Our Team

James Zgambo

Position: Ambassador & Lead Missionary / National Coordinator

Department: Bible Teaching, Church Planting & Outreach

I was born and raised in Northern Malawi, in a humble family that taught me hard work, respect for elders, and love for community. From childhood, I grew up seeing struggles of village life - poverty, no schools, no roads, families walking miles for water, and many children without hope. Our family valued land, working with hands, sharing what little we had with neighbors, and living together as community.

I grew up in a religious background, but I did not truly know Jesus as personal Savior. I was searching.

HOW I CAME TO CHRIST:

In 2007, through a village crusade in my area, I heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ - that man is sinful (Romans 3:23), wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), but God so loved the world (John 3:16). That night, I responded to altar call and received Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. My life was completely changed.

After salvation, I had hunger for Word of God. I felt strong calling to take Gospel to villages where roads end - where no NGO goes, where pastors have no Bible school. Since 2014, God has led me to serve as Village Missionary through Village Missionary Movement.

My values:

- To live by every Word of God

- To live simple, sustainable life in ecclesia - farming, sharing, community

- To be faithful in small things - mango tree churches, house to house

- To train others (2 Timothy 2:2)
