Likoma, February 24, Mana: Director of Women's and Children's Ministry for Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Church in the North, Ellies Thawe, has advised members of Likoma Women Ministry to be good stewards.

Thawe said this Saturday on the sidelines of the women's ministry advisory meeting held at Chizumulu Island.

The meeting aimed at imparting knowledge to SDA women on good stewardship.

"We came here to encourage women in the church to be good stewards and also to equip them with knowledge on how they can do women's ministry activities and encourage each other spiritually.

“By being good stewards, women will be able to serve others. They will be good leaders at home and at church. Women in church are called to manage resources, care for others and contribute to the growth of the ministry," said Thawe.

She noted that women, specifically from Chizumulu, have potential to grow in church but seem to be neglected due to transportation challenges.

A church member from Chizumulu, Mary Phiri, said the meeting was an eye opener as it provided positive lessons.

"I am happy because I have learnt a lot from this meeting. For example, being a good steward, starts from home then to church and the community. I have also learnt that we need to help those in need," said Phiri.
