Mvuala in senior pastor in the River of Life Evangelical Church in Malawi.

This is an indigenous church established in 2001 to preach the word of God with total transformation of people’s lives in their communities and nation. Their desire is to equip communities with relevant knowledge and skills to further their own development in a sustainable way. They believe that communities will be able to fully thrive when they are spiritually, socially and economically transformed.

Mvuala Mvuala moved to Dunmurry to study at the Belfast Bible College for two years before returning to the church in Malawi. Mvuala was involved in the church life at King’s Way and often taught and preached both in small groups and church services.

The relationship established through his time spent in Dunmurry continues. Teams from King’s Way Church have visited his church in Malawi to support the work and we have also provided a number of bicycles for his pastors to use as they travel in ministry.

So what exactly is this?
resound is an attempt at a fresh expression of church based in Dunmurry, Northern Ireland. We hope to be a church that is not just relevant to, but shaped and changed by the people who are not yet a part of us.

What makes it different?
Northern Ireland is full of churches, but more and more people are finding it difficult to relate to church as we know it. We are going back to first principles, and losing the baggage that has been built up over two thousand years. We have no church building, no entrance exams, and no noses that we will look down at you through. The only thing you need to belong is a desire to belong. We will welcome you with open arms.

Why resound?
The word resound means "to celebrate or praise". As our lives are meant to be lived out as praise to God, we thought that it pretty much sums us up. Plus we voted on a few and it won.

Churches together is a group of churches and fellowships in and around southwest Belfast brought together by a growing sense of unity in both evangelism and prayer. This has developed from the monthly Saturday morning prayer breakfasts and other forms of cooperation over recent years. Having been encouraged by the joint worship services we have held, and the feedback from them, we decided to plan various regular events. We hope that all church members will participate in one way or another. Our hope is that we will remain mutually encouraged, supported and strengthened in the Lord’s work locally, to God’s glory (Ephesians 3: 14 – 21).
