Following the successful Apologetics Seminar held at the Logos Campus in Lilongwe, the team travelled to Jenda in Mzimba District, where a second seminar was conducted from 16–17 July 2026 at Global Divine Revival Church.

The seminar was designed to equip church leaders to address the growing challenges of secularism, scepticism, and competing worldviews. Participants received practical, intellectual, and biblical tools to respond confidently to difficult questions about the Christian faith, strengthen believers, and effectively engage seekers with the Gospel. The training also empowered Church leaders to disciple their congregations with greater confidence and biblical conviction.

The two-day seminar brought together 65 Christians from various congregations across the district. The facilitator, Mr Kennedy Gondwe, expressed his appreciation for the excellent attendance and was encouraged by the participants' eagerness to learn and actively engage with the training. He guided participants through key apologetics principles and practical approaches for defending and communicating the Christian faith within the Southern African context.

During the closing session, Logos Ministries National Director, Mr M. Kamnkhwani, challenged participants to apply the knowledge they had gained in their churches and ministries. He encouraged them to share what they had learned with others so that sound biblical teaching and effective Christian witness could continue to spread throughout their communities.

Mr Kennedy Gondwe serves as the Coordinator of the Centre for Apologetics Research (Southern Africa), where he is actively involved in equipping Christians across the region to defend and communicate the Christian faith with biblical wisdom, clarity, and confidence.

Mentorship Training in Blantyre

Following a successful mentorship training conducted in Chikwawa District, Logos Ministries also held a two-day mentorship training in Blantyre from Thursday, 7 May to Friday, 8 May 2026 at Limbe CCAP.
The training targeted 15 Logos trainees, some of whom are entrusted with facilitating Basic Theology Programme classes across the Southern Region.

Why Mentorship Training?

Mentorship training is essential for ministry trainees because it bridges the gap between theological knowledge and practical ministry application. While seminaries provide academic and theological instruction, mentorship offers “life-on-life” discipleship that nurtures holistic growth in character, competence, leadership, and spiritual maturity. Such training is vital for sustaining effective and impactful ministry.

The trainees expressed gratitude to Logos Ministries for providing the timely and practical training, noting that it will greatly assist them not only in facilitating Basic Theology classes but also in fulfilling their responsibilities as church leaders.

Logos Ministries Director, Manuel Kamnkhwani, together with Pastor E. Mwale, emphasized the importance of mentorship in Christian ministry. They assured participants that Logos Ministries will continue mentoring both trainees and students to equip them with the necessary knowledge, spiritual guidance, and practical skills to effectively address challenges affecting their lives as Christians and leaders.

Logos Ministries conducted a 2-day mentorship training for its trainees from Tuesday, 5th May to Wednesday, 6th May 2026 at Kukhala Motel in Chikwawa District.

• Promote Scriptural familiarisation and deep understanding of core Christian doctrines rooted in Scripture and/or Reformed Tradition.
• Multiply servant-leaders who model Christ-like character and can fully represent organisational objectives.
• Enhance biblical exposition, sermon structure, and delivery techniques.
• Promote Christian character development and stewardship through faithful management of resources, time, and the welfare of the participants.
