Fasting

Churches call for fasting amidst COVID-19 threats

Chairman of the BOC Reverend Joseph Walters said, “So we in the church see that something has gone wrong. The God who protected us, defended us and protected and helped us in 2020, where has he gone to, what’s happened? And we can only draw one conclusion that the country has sinned.”

Reverend Walters added the country through its government and political leaders and church leadership have strayed away from God.

Govt declares day of fasting, praying

The Prime Minister has called for the nation to uphold this commitment, which will run for the next 21 days, as the coronavirus pandemic is a cross-cutting issue that does not concern only the health sector.

This call by PM James Marape has been applauded by the PNG Council of Churches and the Body of Christ, who are calling on all Christian faiths to unite in the spirit of God in fasting and praying throughout these 21 days.
