- Miqlat USA takes short term mission groups to Malawi annually. It is both an exciting and challenging journey. Christians from all walks of life and all age groups are welcome to come and broaden their understanding of what it means to "feed the hungry and cloth the naked". If you have a beating heart in your chest, then this experience will change your life.
