The Minister of Civic Education and National Unity Honourable Timothy Mtambo on Sunday worshiped at prophet Shepherd Bushiri’s Enlightened Christian Gathering (ECG) Church at Golden Peacock Complex in Lilongwe, Malawi.

Mtambo visited the church in his capacity as a minister after receiving an invitation from the church for him to be the guest of honour during the first Sunday of the Jesus Nation month. The service brought together a diversity of congregants from across the globe who usually come as international visitors.

In his speech, the Minister underlined that his coming to worship at ECG was a statement that Malawi government values the role religious organisations such as ECG The Jesus Nation Church plays in civic education and fostering national unity.

Mtambo also urged the congregation to continue praying for leaders and those that are doing good deeds in the society. He says the spirit of wanting to see people that seem too be doing well fall is not welcome in Malawi and that a mindset change is need so that as a nation we should embrace and celebrate those that re doing good

“When people do good, we should not be praying to see them fall but should pray to see them rising,” said the Minister

Mtambo also said he was not new to the ECG family, pointing out that he was in University with ECG associate Prophet Justice  Hara , whom he said was helpful in inspiring the other students and leading prayers during the college days

Leader of ECG Prophet Shepherd Bushiri thanked Mtambo for accepting invitation to attend the church service. Bushiri presented “The Jesus Nation” book to the Minister. In the book, the Bushiri writes how Jesus Christ is raising men and women of God to control all spheres of life before His return.
