Apostle Chiniko pens new book

By Chisomo Phiri

Apostle Anthony Chiniko has released his new book titled ‘The Great Commission’, which emphasizes the importance of soul winning in Christianity.

In an interview with 247 Malawi News,Chiniko,said the new book’s main message is centered on spreading the gospel and winning souls for Christ.

He said the motivation for writing the book stems from Jesus Christ’s final words in Matthew 28, which emphasizes the need to preach the good news to everyone.

The author said he believes that the salvation without soul winning is a sign of an incomplete understanding of salvation.



He said the book will be officially launched in July this year in the capital Lilongwe.

Said Chiniko:”Copies of the new book are currently available at Claim Bookshop and others can access it direct from me.

” I encourage everyone to get a copy of this new book because it will set in motion all believers that have not yet preached to sinners and at the same time it will also answer many questions baffling committed soul winners.”

Chiniko, who started writing in secondary school, has now published two books and is optimistic about the growing of the writing industry in the country.

Apart from being an author and apostle, Chiniko is also an accountant.

He currently works at Trinity College of Health Sciences in Nsanje.

According to the Monetary Policy Committee, annual average inflation is projected to decline to 27% this year from 32.2% last year.



The central bank expects foreign reserves to improve in the second quarter due to agricultural produce sales.

However, the bank has revised its growth projection for 2025 to 3.2%, down from 4%, citing dry spells that affected parts of the country.

Policy rate is the interest rate that commercial banks pay to borrow money directly from the central bank while the Lombard rate is the interest rate charged by central banks when extending short-term loans to commercial banks.
