MUTHARIKA CALLS FOR INTERDENOMINATIONAL PRAYERS FOR GOOD RAINS

Following drought that has hit the country for the past two weeks, President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika has called for interdenominational prayers for good rains and good harvest during this growing season.

According to information sourced by FaceofMalawi, the prayers will be held on January 9, 2015 at Bingu International Conference Centre (BICC) in the capital Lilongwe.

Presidential Adviser on religious affairs Apostle Timothy Khoviwa confirmed of the development in an interview with the press.

Khoviwa said the prayers will be held under the theme “Dedicating Ourselves to God for Seeking Peace and National Development.

He said pastors from different Churches and mosque have been invited to attend the prayers.

The Department of Climate Change and Meteorological Services expressed worry over the continued dry spell that has hit the country, saying this is so because of the El Niño.

The department said the situation will normalize by Friday this week.
