Speaking during the gathering, Bishop Chikamba emphasized that education is becoming increasingly important in modern society and encouraged parents to support girls in completing their studies. He stressed that academic achievement should not be rushed and that perseverance in education must be encouraged even when success takes time.
“Hakuna mwana unowanikwa asina 5 O levels, chero akaita makore matatu achinyorera ndiye anenge azvinonotsa kuwanikwa,” said the bishop.
His statement drew attention among congregants, with many viewing it as a strong message aimed at empowering young women through education while also promoting responsibility among families and communities.

The seminar attracted male congregants from different regions and served as a platform for discussing moral values, leadership, and the role of members in strengthening both their families and the church community.
