| On December 6th, believers who participated in the 7th 'Light and Salt Street Cleaning Service' are cleaning the streets of Mbayani |
“I participated with the determination to become the light and salt of the community through volunteer work. It is rewarding to see people's perception of Mbayani Street changing.”
On December 6th, 50 members of the Malawi branch of Shincheonji Church of Jesus carried out an environmental cleanup on the streets of Mbayani in Blantyre, Malawi's commercial capital. A church volunteer above expressed the purpose behind participation in such an 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. This was the 7th anti-litter service conducted by the Shincheonji Malawi Church.
On that day, 50 Shincheonji Malawi members collected discarded household waste from roadsides and around commercial areas, filling 30 25-litre waste refuse sacks (750kg).
Marie Banda (40, female), a resident of Mbayani, expressed her gratitude for Shincheonji's ongoing service in Malawi, saying, “After months of ongoing activities, people in the market have become more conscious of voluntarily sweeping and cleaning their own shops and streets.”
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.”
Meanwhile, the Shincheonji Malawi Church emphasised that their goal is to remain a church that serves humbly while sharing the true teachings of Jesus. A Shincheonji Malawi Branch official expressed his aspirations, saying, “Next year, we will work with government agencies such as Blantyre City Hall and the Blantyre Youth Sports Centre to further our commitment to Malawi.”
