Acting Presidential Press Secretary Timpunza Mwansambo says in a statement that the service of worship is expected to start at around 12 noon.

During the Service of worship, whose theme is: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble,” Mutharika will partake in the reading of the Holy Scriptures, the Second Reading (in English-New Testament) from John 11:25-27 .

“There after the President shall lead the congregation in observing a minute of silence in honour and memory of those that lost their lives to the floods,” reads the statement in part.

Malawi faced the unprecedented flood disaster that hit the country a few weeks ago leaving 176 people dead and another 153 missing with slightly more than two hundred thousand people displaced countrywide.

Mwansambo says Mutharika “strongly believes that God will answer all our prayers because God is our refuge and Strength, a very present help in such times.”

I agree with you Murry. Why not go to pray in Chikwawa or Nsanje? Or is it because the fashion show part of the prayers requires town setting.

This interdenominational Prayers brings nothing to GOD apart from pleasing people. President Mutharika being a Christian Should have organised the National Prayer for Christians and advise other religons to do the same in their places of worship. Malawi though secular have a strong presence of Christians and as such we believe that JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD and is the Way,, truth and life. no body can go direct to GOD but through JESUS. SO WE DONT need to be mixed with people who dont believe in what we believe and who dont recognise Jesus as the Son… Read more »

Funny thing. God sent the floods. Did you think that he did not know there was going to be victims. Do you think he is stupid? You prayed for rain, you got it but because you have destroyed the environment by cutting all the trees down you ended up with a disaster. When will you wake up. Instead of paying get off your lazy ass and do something about the root cause. If you have not figured it out yet is called over population and environmental distruction. Stop cutting down trees to give to the chinese to build soccer stadiums… Read more »

The Christian have a relationship with Christ and any other prophet is but only a servant of God. A Moslem believes Muhammad is the last prophet of God and that Christ was just another prophet. I don’t know what the hinds and budist believe. Does it really make sense in bringing these groups together. I believe that there can only be one spiritual truth in world and that the others are lies. Lies belong to darkness and truth to light and two don’t mix. I know what I believe in but I will not stand here and judge any religion.… Read more »
