African Baptist Assembly of Malawi, Inc.

In 1897, Booth took Yao tribesman John Chilembwe (ca.1871-1915) to America, where the National Baptist Convention, USA sponsored his education at the Virginia Theological Seminary and College at Lynchburg, Virginia.

In 1900 Chilembwe returned to Africa under the banner of the National Baptist Convention, USA and established the Providence Industrial Mission.

[2] After Chilembwe was killed on February 4, 1915, while leading an uprising against British authority, the government banned the Providence Mission.

In 1926, the British government allowed the Providence Industrial Mission to be reopened under Daniel Sharpe Malekebu (ca.1890-1978).

Malekbu had been trained in medical and Bible school in the United States.
