MALAWI: Bishop Mtumbuka Commissions Youth to Youth Dancing Missionaries
To allow young people to participate in the evangelization mission of the Church in ways that are appealing to fellow young people, Bishop Martin Anwel Mtumbuka of the Diocese of Karonga has established the Youth to Youth Dancing Missionaries.
The Bishop announced the establishment of this special group of missionaries among the youth during the commemoration of the Feast of St Joseph the Worker, the patron saint of the Diocese and its cathedral.
Bishop Mtumbuka said that the Youth to Youth Dancing Missionaries are a group of young people from St Mary’s and St Joseph the Worker parishes in the Diocese. They will be doing roadshows in selected public centres to reach out to fellow youth with the Good news through Gospel music and dancing.
“In this Year of Missio Ad Gentes, I have received reports that the youth in the Diocese are already engaged in many missionaries activities including visiting fellow youths that stopped going to Church in order to bring them back to the fold; they are doing various works of charity to the needy and taking care of the Church surrounding and planting trees,” said the Bishop.
The Bishop has since encouraged the youth to continue being active and to take seriously their assignment to evangelize to fellow youths.
