This article argues that the high level of poverty within the CCAP Blantyre Synod has been due to a lack of kenōsis within the church. The Synod is located in the southern part of Malawi which experiences the highest level of poverty in Malawi. If the kenōsis of Jesus were practised, it would lead to drastic change and enhance societal progress in the lives of the people. The CCAP Synod's inability to practise kenōsis in their daily social and economic life is reflected in the high level of poverty within the congregants and the entire Synod operating system.
