At a time when the world is adapting to a new normal birthed by the deadly coronavirus contagion, a virus that has no known cure, President Mnangagwa will today lead the nation in prayer and fasting as the country seeks divine answers to a disease that has turned lives upside down and wrecked economies globally.

During the same time, millions of people across the country will join the President in prayer and fasting from 10am to 12pm as the country collectively turns to faith in response to an invisible enemy.

The Council of Apostolic Churches of Zimbabwe (CACZ), an umbrella body of Apostolic and Zion Christian Churches which is led by its president, Bishop Clement Karikoga Chisango, said in a statement that it was fully behind the call to prayer by President Mnangagwa in order to collectively appeal to the Lord during a time of crisis.

"The Monday June 15 occasion truly brings all Zimbabweans together as it accords them a very rare opportunity to appeal to their creator in order to overcome the coronavirus pandemic that has ravaged the entire world, seek God's intervention in reigniting the economy, heal the nation and unite all peoples of Zimbabwe towards a common goal," said CACZ deputy president Apostle Amos Seremani.

Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa also urged the nation to heed the President's call for the nation to observe a day of national prayer and fasting and to join him as he meets with various church leaders.
