Malawi: VP Ansah Urges Pastors' Wives to 'Win More Souls' Through Integrity and Character

What the report says

Malawi Vice-President Jane Ansah used a church conference in Lilongwe to encourage pastors’ wives to strengthen their witness through integrity, character and a Christ-centred life. The remarks were delivered at the close of the three-day Christ-Citadel International Church Pastors’ Wives Conference at the church’s Area 47 Sanctuary, according to Nyasa Times as republished by AllAfrica.

The conference brought together delegates to discuss ministry challenges and practical support for women serving alongside their husbands. Its theme, drawn from Philippians 1:27, focused on serving faithfully and standing firm. Topics reported at the event included righteousness, integrity in ministry, mentorship, personal grooming, wellness, church governance, and balancing family, church and professional responsibilities.

Ansah said pastors and their spouses are often expected to remain strong for their congregations even when facing personal hardship. She urged the women to continue in their calling and to be examples that could encourage others to the Christian faith. Organizers said the event was intended to equip pastors’ wives with skills and spiritual support for more effective ministry.

The appearance also drew attention because Ansah has recently been making more public engagements amid political speculation about her role in government. That context was noted in the source report, though it is separate from the church event itself.
