PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has donated K100, 000 towards the completion of the Mpongwe Baptist Church.
Luanshya Mayor Nathan Chanda and Mpongwe businessman Emmanuel Kasambo delivered the donation on behalf of the President yesterday.
The church will be upgraded to a seating capacity of 1, 000.
Mr Kasambo described the donation by the Head of State to the Church as an indicator of his commitment towards promoting the Christian faith in Zambia.
He indicated that President Lungu saw the need to contribute towards the completion of the Church following his visit last month.
“The President visited the Church last month and promised to contribute towards the building of the Church and he as definitely fulfilled that promise,” Mr Kasambo said.
He said President Lungu’s commitment and support towards the things of God should be an inspiration to other politicians in the country.
Mr Kasambo said Mr Lungu has set an example of how a true leader should be, by showing love, support and belief in Christian faith.
“The President has more than often echoed for politicians to embrace Christian faith in their work,” he said.
