“The
president is calling on all Malawians and people of good will living in
Malawi to dedicate prayers in respective mosques, churches and prayer
houses from 26 to 28 October 2018.”
Apostle Timothy Khoviwa stated that asides having a national gathering for such prayers on a single day, the three days will give a chance for every person from all corners of Malawi to take part in the prayers. “We believe in a miracle working God and to have a leader who values prayers it’s a commendable thing,” he said. Evangelical Association of Malawi (EAM) general secretary the Reverend Francis Mkandawire, who also commended the President, said; “This is commendable; it’s good to seek God’s intervention in these issues. We have structures and we are sending a special appeal to our members. We will also pray for peaceful elections next year,” said Mkandawire.
