At the first graduation ceremony for Shalom Bible School in Machinga, Prophet David Mbewe presented Vice President Dr. Michael Usi with a traditional Malawian catapult as a symbol of resilience and strength. Mbewe praised Usi’s dedication, saying, “This catapult is a reminder to keep you steady on your path.”

Addressing the graduates, Dr. Usi highlighted faith as the foundation of true leadership and shared wisdom from the Biblical story of Asahel, urging them to pursue their goals with both ambition and wisdom. Dr. Usi also commended Prophet Mbewe for transforming the Shalom community and expressed confidence in his vision.

The Vice President later connected with the community, stopping to greet residents, who celebrated with songs and dances—a reflection of Usi’s deep bond with the people.
