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.
