MEDET has several approaches towards spreading of the gospel. There is the Jesus film project; whereby MEDET has got audio visual equipment which is used to show the Jesus film and the passion of Christ movie. Faith Comes by Hearing Is also another project which is partnered with the bible society of Malawi and due to high illiteracy in rural Malawi most people cannot read and write, therefore local communities are given audio bibles translated into the local language to empower them spiritually. These communities are organized into groups called bible listening groups.
