Blantyre, June 10, Mana: Youths in Blantyre have been encouraged to take an active role in spreading the word of God.

This was said on Saturday at a youth inter-denominational conference organized by Doing It for Christ (D4C) in partnership with Ablaze Lilongwe at Jacaranda Cultural Centre in Blantyre.

Speaking during the event, Founder of Ablaze, Maya Mdala advised the youth to understand their calling and know the cost that comes with it.

“The journey of serving the Lord has its own demands and those who understand the cost of such demands will be able to continue carrying and spreading the gospel,” he said.

Mdala added that the youth need to be awake spiritually and not to allow anything disconnect them from God.

“We should never be at peace at a place where the spirit is dry because only when your spirit is active is when you can receive the instructions from God,” he said.

Annie Mvumbe, who also spoke at the conference, urged the young believers to influence other people to follow God.

“We need to keep our spirit on fire and let others see the light for them to abandon their bad behaviors and follow God,” she said.

One of the participants, Joseph Nyale from Ndirande commended the organizers, saying the conference was soul winning and needs to be happening regularly.

This was the first time for D4C and Ablaze to organize such a conference in Blantyre.

The event was spiced up by urban gospel music from Chiggo97, Zion the Messenger, Regenerate and TNO.
