The Malawi Union Conference Youth Director for the church Dr Elphis Witness Luwani said the move is promote reading culture among the youths in the denomination.
Dr Luwani added that his ministry has observed that social media is corrupting the minds of children.
“as a church we want young generation to understand the essence of reading bibles and other spiritual materials.” Luwani said.
Echoing on the same, Chief Executive Officer for Royal Events James Katapa said despite widening young people’s knowledge of the church doctrines, the program will also boost up their concentration on academic studies as they will get used to reading habit.
Katapa said “a standard prize for the winning team is one million kwacha but other prizes will be given in different categories like ; the best player, most answering prayer and others.”
As one of the partners involved in the program, the ministry of education has pledged to commit itself in championing the event by monitoring all activities and lending the required support.
The Chief Education Officer for secondary education Samuel Chibwana therefore asked other churches to emulate a good example from the program.
