Title: Ekwendeni C.C.A.P. Church

Description: It was built in 1889 by Dr. Walter Elmslie as an out station but later, a bigger church was built in 1894. It was located within a Ngoni tribal heart land. The Ngonis were notorious for fighting and conquering other tribes, therefore, the coming in of the missionaries facilitated end of conflict between Ngonis and Tumbuka tribes of the area. Life standards also changed for the better as schools, health services and general welfare of the people improved. Civilization came in the area and wars among tribes minimized.
