The Seventh-Day Adventist (SDA) church Dorcas mothers in Nakonde district in Northern Province yesterday cleaned up Nakonde police cells.

The Dorcas mothers also prepared food for the remandees and later donated food stuffs worth thousands of Kwacha.

Speaking to the Zambia News and Information Services (ZANIS) at Nakonde police station shortly after the cleaning exercise, Nakonde Main Church Dorcas Leader, Catherine Sinyangwe said the church had a duty of looking after the needy people in society.

Ms. Sinyangwe said the church will not relent in carrying out community services in the quest to improve the living standards of the vulnerable people in society.

She also appealed to those in prison to always remember to pray to God to intervene in their situations.

Earlier, SDA pioneer Elias Chileshe, in his special sermon to the remandees said God does not forsake his children no matter what they do.

Reading from Luke 15:11, Chileshe said God was always willing to receive his children as long as they confessed their sins.

He also appealed to the members of the public to stay away from going against the law saying God is not pleased seeing his children in prison.
