that will help them to stop relying on employment but build their own businesses for the success of their communities and churches around them.
I am very passionate about becoming a leader, not only in Malawi but the whole Africa, teaching the youth to become leaders who can lead like Christ in their different positions. I studied Journalism and many other health related courses. Apart from this, I got a scholarship to study at African Christian College in Swaziland (currently called Eswatini), and I am studying bachelor of theology major in leadership. This is so because my passion is just to transform African by equipping the youth who I believe they are the leaders of tomorrow with authentic leadership and business skills so that together we can end poverty.
I am exited to join CLI, and I hope I am going to learn more about leadership and how to manage conflict in an organizational setting."
Please pray for McClintock and his ministry! If you would like, you can join our Vision Partners in supporting Christian leaders like him!
