Blantyre, May 19, Mana: Living Waters Church has engaged the youth through a seminar on effective leadership under the theme: ‘Creating a spiritual life for leaders of tomorrow.’

Speaking at the seminar at Chigumula Living Waters Church in Blantyre over the weekend, Pastor Adam Gondwe, said leadership is not only about being in charge but also taking care of others.

“Leaders are both made and born. Moses wasn't born a leader but he was made and learned to be a leader,” he said.

He, therefore, called upon youth in the church to learn and be ready to take up leadership roles.

Pastor Gondwe added that good leaders are able to effectively communicate with others which leads to building positive relationship with others.

Chairperson for Living Waters Church Youth Ministry in the southern region, Takondwa Kambwiri, said the seminar was necessary for youths as it provided an opportunity for young people to get insight on leadership roles.

One of the participants, Lucy Malefula from Mulanje Living Waters Church described the seminar as insightful saying she learned leadership skills that she will apply when leading fellow youths in Mulanje.

“I have learned that being a leader is not only being in that position but also bringing solutions to problems,” she said.

More than 65 youths representing Living Waters Church in Chikwawa, Zomba, Thyolo, Blantyre, Mulanje and other districts in the southern region attended the seminar.
