Lusaka Province Minister, Charles Shawa has asked the Church to assist government in addressing the emerging alcohol abuse among youths in the country.
Mr Shawa says the Church can play an important role in counseling the young people on alcohol abuse to address some of the social ills that afflict society and restoring morality among young people.
He said this during the dedication church service for the Chainda Seventh Day Adventist Church in Lusaka today.
Mr Shawa has since commended the Seventh Day Adventist Church for its robust social policy that has seen the opening of Universities, Hospitals and schools among many others that have benefited the less privileged in society.
He challenged the church to double its efforts in supplementing government’s poverty intervention programmes aimed at fighting disease, poverty, illiteracy and destitution in the country.
And speaking earlier, Seventh Day Adventist Church Central Zambia Conference President, Pastor Passmore Mulambo, said his church is non-partisan and will continue working with the Zambian government in the provision of social services.
Pastor Mulambo further said the church should be in the forefront of preaching and promoting peace and unity among all political players in the country.
