PALCON sessions equip, challenge Malawi leaders
Nearly 150 Malawi pastors and leaders from the Church of the Nazarene's five districts gathered for the Pastors and Leaders Conference (PALCON), themed "Prepare the Way of the Lord."
Invited guests included Africa South-East Field Strategy Coordinator Paul Mtambo, Africa South Field Strategy Coordinator Mashangu Maluleka, Africa South-East Field education coordinators Gary and Penny Sidle, evangelist Larry Leckrone, and Africa Region Finance Coordinator David Allen.
Each guest covered a variety of topics that were timely for Malawi and the church, including leadership lessons, church growth and development, stewardship, the call and role of an evangelist, reaching cities for Christ, and the process of making disciples.
Maluleka challenged participants each evening with his preaching. He communicated and expounded on the Word of God in the Africa way, preaching the holiness message and helping the people understand sanctification in their context. After the preaching, the altar was full of people presenting their burdens to God and renewing their relationship with God.
On the last day, Mtambo served Communion to all participants, including the guests.
Attendees thanked the organizing committee and testified that the conference was one of the best in the country and their lives were equipped and challenged.
