“We aim to raise awareness on education. Our services reach out to communities within our church jurisdictions.
“Our mission statement pronounces that we are called to strengthen our faith and were sent to continue the ministry of Jesus Christ by service and witness in the world.
“As missionaries, we promote our global focuses: to empower women, embrace child protection and eradicate hunger,” she explained.
The church usually conducts outreach campaigns to assist those who are in places of safety, hospitals, prisons and low-income households.
They also donated 21 school jerseys, food and party packs.
“We are approaching winter, so we understand that some of the learners do not have jerseys.
“This is a gesture from us to the learners to be warm during the chilly days of winter and be able to attend classes,” said Ntintili.
The seminar imparted knowledge on how to start a non-governmental organisation, personal financial management and the effects of social media.
