Church members hail govt revision of attendees at places of worship

Mwenesungu said that having the government which was able to respect the work of God is so amazing and powerful and as the church they are together with the government in fighting against the Covid-19 pandemic in the country.

He added that they would continue to encourage their Church members to follow preventive measure which the government has put in place in order to help and fight against the spread and the transmission of the virus.

“We will make sure that people are washing hands, wearing mask as well as observing social distance in our churches,’’ the Coordinator said.

Grace Life Ministry member Prince Longwe also said as believers, they are proud to assemble again to pray against the Covid-19 pandemic in the country.
