Sometimes we do not see Jesus amidst us, but it does not mean he is not there. He is always there with us” Said President Chakwera who himself is a well known Pastor having served as a Pastor and President of Malawi Assemblies of God for many years before ascending to the position of the State President.

He then commended the Chakwera Government for the freedom of worship in the country.
“Malawi is blessed to have you as its President, for you know the responsibility of the church in the country. Malawi does not only have the President in you, but you are more than a President. You are the father of our nation, and at the same time you are a Man of God, that is something unique and a blessing to our country.
As Living Waters Church in collaboration with other churches, we always pray for you and will keep praying for you until God fulfills what he put you on the position you are holding today” Said Bishop Kachikuni.
Further, he encouraged the President to keep moving forward with the vision he has for Malawi so that Malawi prospers.
