President Lazarus Chakwera has asked Malawians not to lose hope in sight of various challenges they are facing in the country.
Chakwera made the call Sunday after attending a prayer service at Katoto Malawi Assemblies of God Church in Mzuzu City.
He emphasised that those who are prayerful are better positioned to embrace mindset change because they regularly receive sermons that encourage them to align their hearts with God.
The President particularly encouraged the youth to remain hopeful, noting that hopelessness often leads to destructive behaviour.
“When a person has hope, they believe that tomorrow things will improve.

“The country’s aspirations can be achieved if we embrace mindset change, and believers are better placed to adopt this because they already receive teachings to change their hearts,” Chakwera said.
Bishop Raphael Ndewere, resident pastor for Katoto Malawi Assemblies of God, said the church would continue to pray for the country and the government for the prevalence of peace and prosperity.
The homily was based on scriptures from 2 Kings 7:1-11 and Matthew 20:1-7, which were read by Chakwera.
Since Thursday, the church had been hosting a convention under the theme ‘The 11th Hour Miracle’.

As one of the founders of the local church, Chakwera supported the congregation with a donation of K2 million.
The president was in the company of dignitaries such as Deputy Presidential Adviser on Religious Affairs Sheikh Hashim Abbas, Homeland Security Minister Ken Zikhale Ng’oma.
Leaders of other churches, notably Livingstonia Synod General Secretary Reverend William Tembo, were in attendance, too.
