The Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) General Assembly has issued a stirring call to its members to stand united and strengthen their spiritual foundations amidst the challenges facing Malawi.
In a statement addressed to all Christians within the church’s synods, including Livingstonia, Nkhoma, Blantyre, Zambia, and Harare, the General Assembly emphasized the importance of prayer, love, and unity.
According to the CCAP, spiritual growth is the cornerstone of transformation for individuals, communities, and the nation.
The church leaders are urging members to cultivate a strong prayer life, citing biblical teachings that highlight the significance of prayer in achieving spiritual fulfillment. “Let us learn from Paul, a great apostle of God, who worked hard to earn a living and prayed tirelessly to attain spiritual growth,” the statement read, referencing Acts 20:34.
The CCAP General Assembly resolutions focus on four key areas, encouraging members to prioritize prayer, avoid false teachings, and cultivate love and unity within the church.
Members are also reminded of their civic duties and the need to engage in responsible citizenship, emphasizing the importance of good governance and accountability in all aspects of life.
The CCAP is one of the largest Protestant churches in Malawi, with a significant presence in education, agriculture, and community development.
As a respected institution, its call for unity and spiritual growth resonates deeply within the country.
The church’s emphasis on spiritual growth, love, and unity offers a beacon of hope for a brighter future.
By heeding the call to prayer, unity, and responsible citizenship, Malawians can work together towards a more prosperous and peaceful nation.
