The Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church assures Government of total support to the development of Malawi.
The delegation of the church leadership was on Thursday meeting President Peter Mutharika at Kamuzu Palace in Lilongwe with an aim of introducing to him the newly transitioned leadership from SDA Malawi Union Mission to the SDA Malawi Conference Union.
When introducing the new leadership, President for the SDA Malawi Union Conference Pastor Frackson Kayoma said SDA church will continue to work with Government in various development projects that the church is implementing countrywide.
He said apart from spiritual services, the SDA church is supporting Government through various projects and programmes including offering education, health and women welfare and rights services.
Said Kayoma, "Seventh Day Adventist Church under this new leadership is committed to work with you in the development of this nation"
He assured the president of the church earnest prayers for the good leadership and health and also thanked Mutharika for guaranteeing the Church freedom of worship.
"We thank you, Your Excellency for providing us conducive environment of freedom of worship in this country. This assures us that we have a God fearing leader" he added
In his remarks president Mutharika commended the SDA church for its number of development projects which are supporting his government goals and aspirations.
"As Government, we will do all we can to improve the welfare of the people" he said
"Government recognises the role of the church for both spiritual and wellbeing of the people.
My Government will continue to create space for churches to worship freely"
He also congratulated the SDA Church for the transition from SDA Malawi Union Mission to the SDA Malawi Conference Union. He said this shows that the church is going on the path for self independence.
The SDA Church since 12th June 2015 transitioned from SDA Malawi Union Mission to the SDA Malawi Conference Union. The transition means that the SDA Church in Malawi is independent in its affairs.
