Though Malawi is among the countries that do not allow same sex marriages, government through its spokesperson Malison Ndau has disclosed that they have banned controversial US pastor Steven Anderson from opening his church in the country.

Anderson is reported to have been condemning same sex marriages saying they remain evil before God and that people behind them are to be killed.

Steven Anderson : Stopped from visiting Malawi.

Malawi being a few countries that have not legalized gay marriages, the founder of Faith Word Baptist Church, Anderson, disclosed plans of having branches in the country.

However, government spokesperson Ndau has said that Anderson cannot be allowed in the country due to his “hate preaching” towards people in same sex marriages.

“He would not be received well here,” said Ndau.

The pastor has been since forced to leave some African countries like Botswana and South Africa for his hate speeches that target gays and lesbians.

He however said that he is to have his church that fully forbids the practice.

“There are many other African countries that are not as tolerant of homosexuality, where I feel I would be welcomed,” said Anderson.

The move to block the anti-gay pastor comes after Malawi witnessed a verbal war between politician Ken Msonda and human right activists following his Facebook post that urged citizens to kill gays.

Msonda’s remarks saw the Malawi Law Society (MLS) describing the post as “hatred” and a threat to rights of minority.

  1. Mr Anderson says this article is a lie: Steven Anderson This article is a lie. We haven’t been banned in Malawi. Brother Garrett Kirchway of Faithful Word Baptist Church has been in Malawi for the past 2 weeks leading a group of soul-winners, training pastors, distributing DVDs & flash drives, etc. Over that time, a total of 162 people have been saved as a result of door-to-door soul-winning.

  14. Nyansi zakezo komweko, i don’t think the whitemens are the human beings atooooo! thy r the Dogs indeed,wheather we r the poor it dse’nt matter its better to fear God than a man akagwere uko azangophedwako kuno.

  16. Although I do not condone homosexuality but this man is bad news. Thankfully he has been banned from Malawi. These are the people who give Christianity a bad name. Let him remain in his small Arizona town.

  17. A confused world led by its human precepts other than those of our Lord Jesus Christ. Does our Lord in the Gospel today urge us to kill or stone somebody to death nor does he call on people to service their bodies shamefully to gay ungodly practices ??? Be ware of end time unspiritual movements, let’s ask God to fully open our eyes. For what i see in Jesus is that, the pastors doctrine to some extent is questionable and Malawi is the waste deceiver to her people on certain contemporaly issues such as this gay one. Amen.

  21. Most of good fu American Hip-Hop singers were spoiled through this type of marriage (gay) one of them is Jaden Smith also he is an actor is a girlfriend to Lil B and Young thug this is amazing practice So he can’t cover the government eyes with the word ant-gay we have to stop him otherwise send him back

  24. mabwana ndi madona, mwakomentadi zooona komatu nkhaniyi akuti ANT GAY PASTOR kutanthauza kt nayeso amalalikira zotsutsana ndi ma gay,Iyeyo sapanga za u GAY km amatsutsana nazo, ndiye tkamakomenta pliz tizidziwa chomwe tkukomenta, PEPANI NGT NDALAKWITSA, ZIKOMO,

  25. Keep your rules to your self this world belongs to different types of people who don’t have to follow our way of life. Killing someone because they are different is very wrong. Who made them Gay ? Because i know that God made the world and he never makes a mistake

  30. It’s obvious as Indira Gandhi said and I quote “Noncooperation with good is cooperation with evil”. Kusana ndi kuwala…

  32. Mbusa Ameneyo Akapanga Za Maukwati Achilendowo, Azango Fikira Kundende Zathu Za Udzudzu Basi Azathela Konko. Ku Malawi Kulibe Zomakwatirana Amuna Kapena Akazi Okhaokha. Ndi Nsambi Pamaso Pa Mulungu

  37. Going through the comments,it’s funny enough how some guys are ignorantly bashing out an innocent pastor,who detests homesexuality.Of course this pastor,had been lately banned in some countries peculiarly where Homo is legal coz he has a very critical pesperctive about gayism like any true christian who doesn’t condone unbiblical act of same sex marriages.Bottom line,Malawi Gvt is a latently embracing LGBT how could they ban some who wanna come & establish the church and spread the gospel? So our government needs repentance .

  43. No gays in Malawi. YES. Or NO..Our churches ali duuuh ,panankhala banz bwezi atayeserako kotnknt..How i wish Baba Ken Msonda tn meet this pastor and share more.

  46. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA How can a Satan accept light, this country is demonically led.her leadership is homosexually bride.its ashamed that the pastor comes from America where you say gays are accepted.Shame on you stupid demons.

  52. I think english is a problem in malawi.anti_gay what does this mean? pstr come in zambia so zat no gay rights wil b entertained

  55. as far as we cocern these pple so called gayz or lesbians deseve to be killed.how can a n ormal human falling love in the same sex human? Anderson is right but only the problem is malawi iis governing by devils

  57. Malawi is always serious with such useless issues that has nothing to do toward development. There is a lot to be solved, hunger, electricity problems, undiscled economic crisis, the list is endless. Forget about the pastors.

  62. Looking at the post of Steve I have come to realize that Malawian authorities will and have never made decisions based in their own grounds. Steve does not give a damn to american candidates…. Then mamuna wawauza Ali Mwana ndi wamwano uyu asabwere Ku malawi.
    …kkkkkk
    ……”My malawi is not poor and my people are not poor but our leaders are weak”

  69. The government should just come in the open to say they are planning to legalize gay thing in the near future.

  70. Find somewhere to preach…. You call it Africa but for us its HOME. it is enough that you fooled us but with this you betta stop on your borders. lm fierce about this and let me warn those on power to stand upright ……

  73. You want to tell Malawians that we don’t have our own pastors/churches who speaks against gay? Why Malawi u always support any idea from foregners? Ngati akunika kumvera amabungwe athu,ma church leaders athu,iyeyo ndi ndani? Chifukwa ndiwakunja basi? Achita bwino asabwere….abusa konkuno tili nawo amalalikiranso daily. Bible/Quran timawerenga,okanikayo ndi zake,azaweruzidwa yekha…koma aliyense anamva kut ndizoipa,ameneyo akufuna making money out of this,lucky enough boma lamuwerenga

  74. If the white man’s have no important issues 2 rise in this country they should just stay at their countries than coming here with their nonses views!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  78. What type of people are commenting on this? Anti- gay means KUSUTSANA NDI MCHITIDWE OTI AMUNA KAPENA AKAZI OKHAOKHA AZIKWATIRANA ndiye church cha M’busa ameneyu chimatsutsana ndi mchitidwe umenewu. Understand first before you comment.

  91. HahA poor malawians u adopted gender equality where ladies are heading their family mkazi akakula ntima ukammenya wapalamula kuboma, we lost our culture, vomelaniso izizi izi

  92. Am sure it’s not the government but that invisible western influence…. our so called leaders are just corrupt unpatriotic and stupid

  93. I think we are missing the point. Anderson preach that gay pple must be killed. Yes in Malawi we dont want gays and lebisians. But to incite violence that is against our laws. Since we stopped death penalty. That means no one is allowed to be killed. Goverment is concerned about killing each other. He can preach against gay it fine since we dont want them. But to promote killing that make him to be blocked.

    2. iwe ndiye ndakuva Micheal. ndakhalaa ndikulondola mbiri yankuluyu Anderson adamukana ku UK. australia. Botswana komaso southAfrica ndiye ndimati kungo kulalika ndimaona ngati palibe mvuto kapenakukhazikitsa mpingo ndimaona kuti munthu alindiufulu olowa chipembedzo icho afuna Kaya ndi chipangano koma kuphana ayi ndiyo ikuvuta pakati pamaiko aku East ndi ku west (Shariah law) sibwino kuphana.

    4. @ Malan. I think u need to understand that we have laws in Malawi. They is no law which says u must kill someone even the goverment. I know this man b4 u knew him *since 2008 in US Miam. Everyone has a right to worship but if yo church says kill thieves,gays,robbers etc. The law wil step in. So thats what is happening. I dont like gays but i am not allowed to kill them. Why they rejected him in New Zeland, US, Botswana, RSA. Then u think all these pple they dont think? CCAP and many churchs in Malawi they dont support gay thing why they didn’t close them down. Because they dont mention killing. So plz google his name then u wil understand better. If u dont know ask pple will help u. We have many churches in Malawi which are anti-gay. Why cant u join one than this one which incite violence in the community?

    5. koma anthu amenewawa awa tikuti ma gay wa amayenera kuphedwadwi chigukwa MULUNGU sichitsiru kulenga mwamuna ndi mkazi .ngati ulimwamuna ndiwe mwamuna basi u will never change olo utaziphoda motani koma mukabudula ndiwe wamphongo basi

    6. @ Faith my sister i understand your concern and i also just see it weird and disgusting to see these gays. But u cant correct wrong with another wrong. Lets preach the gospel of God and leave God to teach them and judge them. Are u aware that to kill yo enemy is a crime. No matter how that person done to u. Just take them to court.

    7. Michael Mkandawire, you are missing a point in Malawi laws. The constitution state that, “any person found guilty beyond reasonable doubt by a competente court in a case punishable by death, the court shall render a death sentence and the application of this sentence does not take away any freedom to life of that person”. This means that this punishment is enshrine in the constitution only that the penal code indicates that the president shall sign the death warrant of the convictee for death sentence to be effected. Examples of the case in this category are, murder and treason. Only that our Presidents from Dr Muluzi to Prof. APM have not signed any death warrant. But as it is now, one day we will wake up have voted for one who will sign many death warrant at once to clear out condemned cells full of these convictees. Yes, we will demostrate but we will shown the provision in our own laws. Actualy we learn our laws through court cases, thats why you hear one saying “sindimadziwa kuti ndikuphwanya lamulo!”

    8. I dont get it, how can a pastor wish to kill and say he is sent by God. If u can watch his speech to minister of home and affairs of RSA *MALUSI GIGABA. He was swearing using (f) language. They is no death sentence in Malawi. Give me the chapter and section.

    9. Brother micheal,you are a hypocrite who is merely perpetuating hypocricy here,you claim to know this pastor as if you knows him personally ,whereas you know him through the propagandas, that i assume you might have been following on the internet.Who doesn’t know that the constitution crimilises murderers?or does the constitution decriminalise homesexual?PLEASE MICHEAL,stop being brainwashed by the propagandas that you come across the internet about someone whom you don’t know personally and start misinforming people with them

    10. Jim pliz watch yo mouth when u want to debate with pple. U can just call pple hypocrisy. Fact and feeling are 2 different things. I saw this guy in USA. At first it was in Arkansas he had a church service. Since i like to go to church. I was with one of my friend who is a lecturer at Wits in SA. I didnt talk to him personal*pastor* but i head his preaching which to me i didnt agree. So when debating leave yo anger to yoself and learn to talk nicely. Kusayenda ndikufa komwe. With yo attitude i doubt if u have travelled. That just shows what kind of person u are.

    11. ine ndikuwona kuti michaelyu ndichitsilu galu iwe ndiwe ukutukwanitsatumbuka mulungu akulange ndithu. Iwe ankandawile kupanda kukwatilana ndi mayi ako udakabadwa? Ndiwe chitsilu bwampini

    12. Michael. Mkandawire is right. Problem with alot of people dont know how to conduct a civilised debate. There is no point in insulting a person because he is talking facts, to me thats what brutes and savages do. Fact is, their is no sane government that can allow preachers advocating mob justice to roam freely in a society. Thats dangerous.

    1. No matter how hard they try to blind people the truth has always found away of coming out….they say “they will not be received well”what do they mean?did they ask malawians and hear what they want?this is not amessage of hate but its amessage of love and truth.please malawi government stop deceiving people by showing them apath to destruction.receive God all of you people from the first citizen to the last citizen of malawi pray in truth and in spirit…stop twisting words good and legal marriege is between man and woman not man and man or woman and woman NO..who told you that man should marry man?did God speak these words?mukumanvela kuchoka kwa ndani kodi?musanamize anthu ndiponso kunamiza aeniakenu ngati simulapa for all the evils you are doing ndithudi you will burn and perish in Hell..God is jot happy with you,He is not happy turn to God,repent and it shall be well with us.speak the truth and you shall be set free

  104. Ok paster ubwere uzafikile kunyumba kwanga osati ku state house,mmudzi mwathu ndiwe olandilidwa,ngakhale yesu anabwelera amphawi osati anthu olemera bwera mwana waMulungu sichapafupi ngamira kukalowa pauna wa singano asiyeni olemera atumikire satana poti nansongole ndi tiligu zikhoza kukulira limodzi ndipo mlimi ndiye azasiyanitse.

  106. nkutheka chizungu chavuta ANT-GAY meanng agaist therefore here we r nt practicing this so why bloking him let him cum and see what he brings for us

  110. Why African Countries,even in Botswana they deported Him after saying that Gay/Lesbian should be stoned to death. It means the Government Support Gay/Lesbianism and they dont want to be a victim to the whites when it comes to foreign aid,tokhaso tikudziwa kale.

  112. Malawi is a also apromoter of gay satanism,you know that your fellow gays wont donate anything for you,thus why you banned him,Jesus Christ died for the sinner yet Him was sinned. The opposite is true,shame to you poor Malawi go to hell,You claim that you are aGod fearing country yet not,you are a hypocrite God already left you. You shall cry forever,cant you see yourself with your poor electricit,poor eccconomy,poor roads pooreducation,poor rainfall,hunger,reapent and cry for God to show you mercy.

  119. Just come pastor u are welcome,coz there’s no defference btwn your stupid church and for those who steal public funds,who talk lies and who kills Albinos,all are sins

  127. We don’t need ant gay pastor in Malawi..bcoz we don’t have gays in Malawi….
    Sumagula mankhwala achitopa cha nkhuku ulibe nkhukuzo…

    4. Km ngt iye ali pastor ukuganiza kt an’t gay azikwanilisa bwanj mesa azipanga ngat church en church ndipo akuyenela kumawauza anthuwo with the witness of the bible komwe ndikulalika iwe ukumva bwa-

  132. In Malawi we don’t do that thing so.it’s our laws that we following the bible so Ndau are you mad who told you that underson He is not received in Malawi? U Ndau u deserve to be killed. Coz the world today need the strong preacher we need him here in Malawi u Ndau and your friends you got little brain or yellow brain. You guys you don’t know what you’re doing. Am afraid God will even punish Malawi. Now I know what people want . People doesn’t want the truth they need People like Prophets Bushiri. Please call pastor Underson to come he is a man of God is not from the dark. I know you stop him coz you from the dark. Malawi is not Botswana we don’t have that rule for banne the truth where did you get that power? Which section of law get this tell Coz I have got the book of Malawian law. Stop hiding the truth

    4. I also feel kuti chavuta pamenepa ndi chizungu but the issue is straight forward. If Malawi is anti-gay so how can they block sb who wants to come and preach against gay

    6. I think the main point is “kill the gay”. I dont support gay thing but the Anderson he says that all gays must be killed. That give the goverment an option to stop because it is inciting violence. If he was just preaching the word of God and stopping the gay thing it was ok. But he command them to be killed which is against our law.

  136. Zotsazilana ndiye kuti ku Malawi akumalora dza ma gay?let him came and open a church, if Malawian like to pray why not,no gay in Malawi

  140. simunalakwitse apa ndiye mwakhwana nthawi zina kumaopa mulungu osamangokopeka ndizilizonse ayi mulungu adzatikwiila chifukwa tamuputa dala choonadi tikuchidziwa.

    2. kodi nkhani imeneyi mwina sindikumvesesa ndine ndekha munthuyu akuti amadana ndi mathanyula nde ndikudabwa amalawi mukumunyoza should we say inuyo mukufuna mathanyulawo

    3. kodi nkhani imeneyi mwina sindikumvesesa ndine ndekha munthuyu akuti amadana ndi mathanyula nde ndikudabwa amalawi mukumunyoza should we say inuyo mukufuna mathanyulawo

  145. then whats the conclusion here? the pastor is “anti gay” and our govt claims not to support homosexuallity yet they are banning “anti gay pastor” kuhonga chithandizo or what?
    Lord have mercy

    2. no need for us to be enough with the pastors we havd here, as far as the word of God is concerned, God speaks to His servants through different minister with different message!!

  147. GAY is a whiteman’s culture- NO WAYS IN MALAWI -it’s better to be poor than inheriting a foreign satanic culture. NO NO NO NOT IN MALAWI.

  149. afta arrested in Botswana en Blocked to enter in South Africa now he wanna Come to Nyasalanda, Why Africa try to go to Europe PLS we don’t support those things Please Man of God

    1. he doesnt support it too man… the word anti is against in other words,, they all say the same thing “not in agreement with”

  151. Jesus is around the corner,that’s y our gvt is trying to stop man of God from preaching the truth so that it can get aid from the davil(U.S.A)
