In his remarks President Mnangagwa pointed out how the national development philosophy ‘Nyika inovakwa igotongwa nevene vayo, ilizwe lakhiwa, libusiswe ngabanikazi balo’, is informed by the word of God in Genesis 1vers26 where God gave us dominion over all things.
His Excellency President Mnangagwa further commended the Methodist Church for its multi-disciplinary and sectoral projects being implemented across the country in health, education, humanitarian and social responsibility services. He also called upon churches to elevate the fight against drug and substance abuse in communities.

He further encouraged other churches to also engage in developmental work in order aid government in its drive towards achieving Vision 2030
