MSOP Student Represents Botswana at International Albinism Awareness Commemorations
Mutare School of Preaching (MSOP) proudly celebrates Brother Sekgopi John Mark Mareko Sekgopi, a first-year student from Botswana pursuing a Diploma in Chaplaincy Studies, for representing his country at the International Albinism Awareness Day Commemorations and the Mr. & Miss Albinism Zimbabwe 2026 pageant in Harare.
Brother Mareko, who lives with albinism, was officially invited by the Albinism Dare to Dream Initiative to serve as an international guest speaker, where he delivered a keynote address on inclusion, empowerment, and the lived experiences of persons with albinism. He also had the honour of serving as one of the judges during the pageant. The event brought together government officials, traditional leaders, development partners, community leaders, media, and advocates committed to promoting the dignity and inclusion of persons with albinism.
As MSOP, we rejoice in Brother Mareko's achievement and commend him for using his voice to inspire hope, advocate for inclusion, and reflect Christian values beyond the classroom. His participation demonstrates that the training at MSOP prepares students to be effective ambassadors for Christ and positive agents of change in their communities. We congratulate Brother Mareko and pray that the Lord continues to use him mightily in both his studies and ministry.
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)
