Prophet Shepherd Bushiri and Prophetess Mary Bushiri of Enlighten Christian Gathering (ECG) church have been honoured with a doctorate degree in divinity by United Nation (UN) backed Canadian International Chaplaincy Association (CICA).

Bushiri’s Public Relations Officer Ephraim Nyondo confirmed of the development in a statement made available to faceofmalawi, saying ceremony was held on Monday in Washington D.C., USA.

CICA is a Canadian-based Christian organization accredited with the status of NGO Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council, (ECOSOC). The institution runs an International University and a Seminary.

“Prophet Bushiri, together with Prophetess Mary Bushiri, were honored for ‘selfless dedication to the work of the Kingdom of God both inside and outside church’, according to CICA representative His Excellency Dr. Devon Bannister,” said Nyondo.

He added: “The couple was conferred on with an honorary doctorate degree in Divinity to each. Not only that.

“The two also received UN-approved Ambassadorial titles being a Commander of the Most Distinguish Order of Special Envoy (CDSE) and an order of Minister Statesman Commander of the most Distinguished order of Kingdom Ambassadors (CDKA).

“In light of the newly bestowed honours, Prophet Bushiri now has the right to use the title Ambassador before his name and the CDKA and OMS after his name according to the order of Ephesians 6:20 and from the Kingdom of God Constitution in accordance to 2 Corinthians 5:20.”

With the award, Bushiri has now been given access and backing by many institutions that are affiliated with this Canadian organization to preach in any country across the world.
