New church launches with bold plan to arm youths with livestock skills — and the gospel

A dynamic new church has burst onto Malawi’s religious scene with an eye-catching twist — vowing to combine soul-saving sermons with hands-on animal husbandry training designed to lift young people out of poverty.

CDN Global Church officially launched in Mzuzu  with leader Chawanangwa Nathanael revealing the ambitious outfit runs mentorship programmes that teach youths practical livestock skills alongside their spiritual teachings.

Speaking at the launch, Nathanael declared the ministry’s mission goes far beyond the pulpit — insisting the church is determined to economically empower its members while spreading the gospel.

The church, which has quietly operated as a ministry since 2011, is now setting its sights on rapid national expansion — with bosses revealing bold plans to transform existing satellite centres into fully-fledged branches across the country.

The church’s registrar, Ezekiel Nathanael, confirmed the fledgling congregation has already attracted 153 members from the outset — a solid foundation as leaders eye rapid growth in the months ahead.
