Lichaba went on to say
“I will not have shares in the business and I’m parting ways with the brand. I have left it to the family to run. It remains a family legacy regardless of my involvement as the business employs more than 30 family members. They are trained and capable of running it in my absence,”
From the age of 12, Max says he’s always known he had a calling in ministry, leading to him getting ordained when he was 22.
“I have been avoiding the calling and even started alcohol businesses. The calling has been heavy, and those close to me always knew. It’s now time for its manifestation.
“I have been planning to resign for a while and the Bible says you cannot serve two masters so I had to choose one and follow what God has called me for.”
Max’s experiences as a young man, such as failed marriages, inspired this transition in his life.
