PRESIDENT Mnangagwa has commended churches for playing a crucial role in national development through their participation in various programmes.
Speaking during the Zion Christian Church (ZCC) Easter celebrations held at Mbungo Estates in Masvingo, President Mnangagwa urged thousands of congregants to continue spreading the message of peace and love.
The ZCC is led by Dr Nehemiah Mutendi.
Said President Mnangagwa:
“As leaders, believers, and citizens of this world, we are urged to embody the spirit of Christ, who, through His example, teaches us the true meaning of peace.
“In a world fraught with conflict, disruptions and natural disasters that are induced by climate change as well as the negative effects of illegal sanctions, the importance of peace, unity and development cannot be over-emphasised.
“Against these realities, we must remain vigilant, focussed and hardworking, insulating our economy as well as addressing any vulnerabilities”
President Mnangagwa said through prayer, victory is certain and the attainment of an upper-middle-income society is achievable.
“Through prayer and fervent interceding for our country, victory is certain for us to achieve our Vision to be an empowered and prosperous upper-middle-income society. With God, nothing is impossible.”
The gathering also attracted ZCC followers from regional countries, including South Africa, Zambia and Mozambique.
