Most ZEC Churches have very active ladies' groups and these are linked together by
the Chiyanjano movement. The ladies work is of vital importance in Churches all over Africa. In Malawi
the Chiyanjano group is frequently the 'backbone' of the local Church with ladies active in evangelism,
teaching youngsters and, of course, in hospitality.

These ladies travel widely to lead courses and seminars for ladies groups, pastors' wives, deaconesses,
Sunday School teachers and the like. Sometimes they are involved with activities for the children as
well.
Subjects covered include Bible knowledge, discipleship, evangelism, relationships, family
matters, home
care, counselling and the ladies' role
in the Church.
