“This is not just about cleaning streets. It is about following the example of Jesus, becoming salt and light to our community, and serving our neighbours with love.”
On November 8th, 50 members of the Malawi branch of Shincheonji Church of Jesus volunteered to clean the streets of Mbayani, Blentyre District, southern Malawi. A church representative encapsulated the heart behind the initiative that goes beyond simply picking up litter.
The Shincheonji Malawi Region has been holding monthly street clean-up campaigns since June, held on the first weekend of every month, with the purpose of raising awareness that littering is a shameful act and providing residents with a clean environment.
On that day, Shincheonji Malawi members collected discarded household waste from roadsides and around commercial areas, filling 30 25-litre waste refuse sacks.

The residents of Mbayani expressed their gratitude for Shincheonji's ongoing service in Malawi, saying, “Thank you for doing what we should have done ourselves” and “Your willingness to step forward inspires us, and we are grateful our community feels more hopeful.”
Catherine, a 34-year-old member who joined the effort that day, shared her reflection:
“Each month we continue this work to set an example as children of God. When residents thank us and take greater interest in preserving the environment, I feel encouraged to keep serving faithfully.”
The Shincheonji Malawi Church emphasised that their goal is to remain a church that serves humbly while sharing the true teachings of Jesus. The Church also expressed its aspirations, saying, “Shincheonji Malawi will become a church that is the light and salt of Africa, not just in Malawi, and will spread love throughout Africa.”
