Father Mtharika said the WMF group is revival and transformative such that many people testify that they are able to understand the scripture following his online teachings. .<\/p>\n<p>The group coordinator therefore called on members and followers of WMF to stand firm on strong Christian foundation that should never be shaken by demonic forces<\/p>\n<p>One of WMF group members, Susan Kadewere, said Fr. Mtharika\u2019s online teachings have proven to be a strong pillar that continue to provide strength to those that are weak in spirit and faith.<\/p>\n<p>She added that the group has attracted followers since Fr.

Mtharika\u2019s online sermons provide inspiration and motivation to broken hearts and has helped to build strong Christian faith among group members and other followers,\u201d said Kadewere.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
