Speaking during their encounter at Mtimawoyera Parish on Saturday, August 31, Bishop Alfred Mateyu Chaima encouraged the faithful to remain shining disciples of Christ, serving the Church with their God-given talents and resources.

“Each one of you has a unique gift that can make a significant contribution towards building God's kingdom, no matter how small that may look,” said Bishop Chaima.

The leadership of the group applauded the visit, saying it has motivated them to take an active role in Church activities in the diocese of residence and home diocese.

The leaders further said the visit has strengthened both their faith and commitment to serve the church wholeheartedly.
