Lilongwe, September 1, Mana: The Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG), the Jesus Nation has called on Christians and Churches to embrace mega farms initiative as a way to contribute towards making the world a better place for Christians and achieve the Malawi vision 2063 agenda.
This was said during a press briefing on Friday at Golden Peacock, the ECG Headquarters to announce to Malawians of the global cerebration week which commences from September 04 to 10th 2023 across the 70 countries.
The Resident pastor for ECG-The Jesus Nation in Lilongwe, Evangelist Charles Gwengwe said the aim of the week is to use a cocktail of activities to send a message to the people that it is high time Christians embrace mindset change for social transformation such as adopting the mega farms initiative to make the world a better place.
He said as a church it is time to tackle the key pillars of mindset behaviours of the people such as in religion, government and education among others to make the world a better place by embracing such pillars.
“Through the cerebration, we will carry out charity works reaching out to prisons, hospitals, academia among others. In this we are trying to show the people that it is possible to pray and share the word but also demonstrate and change the lives of people and make the world a better place and achieve the Malawi 2063 agenda.
“For example, in Malawi there is a talk of mega farms and as Christians we need to embrace these things. Christians can also do mega farms so that we make the world better for us. You have heard the General Overseer is working on a city and even the mega farms and this is just to demonstrate that we can do much more than just to pray,” said Gwengwe.
He said it is high time churches embrace mindset change, engage and take action to contribute to the national social transformation saying it does not take the government to be right for things to change but needs a holistic approach to reach the needed change.
Gwengwe called on the private sector and business enterprises who make large profits to reinvest in the people to contribute towards development of the country than just wait for government alone.
