Rev. Chilekwa said that the church should also be involved in the development of the nation saying Government alone cannot do everything. The Deputy Permanent Secretary also thanked the organisers of the training and encouraged them to continue with the same spirit.<\/p>\n

He said that the nation can only be developed when people become self-reliant by having or creating their own jobs. \u201cWe all need to be involved in the development of our mother Zambia by engaging ourselves in economic activities, \u201d said Reverend Chilekwa.<\/p>\n

Pastor Sinyangwe said that the church should not just wait for hand outs but should start creating wealth by getting involved in activities which will generate income.<\/p>\n

He said instead of waiting for the government alone to employ people, the church should learn how to create jobs so that it\u2019s members are empowered. \u201cLet\u2019s be active and engage ourselves in business activities that will contribute to the economic development of the country, \u201d said pastor Sinyangwe.<\/p>\n

And one of the facilitators of the training Joseph Mushalika said that it is high time Zambians ultilised potential which they have so that tangible results are seen in the community<\/p>\n

He said that Zambia has alot of natural resources capable of improving the livelihoods of people if properly enhanced and used. \u201cLet\u2019s use our natural resources to improve our lives,\u201d said Mr. Mushalika.<\/p>\n
