In his acceptance speech and proclamation of peace and grace, Bishop Mankhanamba, who was called to serve God in 1994 said he is grateful to God for trusting him with the new responsibility.

“Since 1994 it has been a journey of poverty, rejection, discrimination and suffering but I always believed in God and with this position I will bring spiritual growth and maturity, social transformation and responding to emotional pressure people experience nowadays," he said.

"I have seen what it means to be mentored during my 24 years walk with Bishop Titus Mbai who has shown love, discipline, moral support, coaching and material support from being a Pastor to being a national coordinator for destiny and then apostolic office," he said.

Bishop Mankhanamba has since opened Destiny College of Leadership and Development Studies, which has so far graduated 160 students and is training more than 287 students this year alone.

Mankhanamba has also undertaken a lot of social corperate activities in the district from fighting climate change, agriculture, human rights to education.

He says his message to his followers and youths is to keep prayer.
