Welcome Tushah Chiwona
Baraka Prayer Gathering Ministry Assistant
Salem Alliance is excited to welcome Tushah to the team!
Here are a few words from him:
"I was born and raised in northern Malawi in a Christian home, and that early foundation shaped much of who I am today. I later moved to the city for college, where I came to know Jesus personally and also met my amazing wife, Nyengo. I studied at African Bible College and went on to earn a Master’s in Leadership and Cultural Engagement from Denver Seminary.
Over the past decade, I’ve served in the sports ministry in rural Malawi using soccer and basketball to connect with youth and share the hope of Christ. I’m passionate about building community and encouraging others in their faith journey.
My wife Nyengo is currently pursuing her master’s in Educational Policy and Leadership at the University of Oregon. We have two wonderful kids our daughter Brooklyn (5) and our son Caleb (2) who keep us on our toes and fill our lives with joy.
We’re excited to be part of SAC and grateful for the warm welcome into a community that’s living out the love of Jesus. I’m looking forward to growing, serving, and walking this journey of faith with you all."
