The Zimbabwe Heads of Christian Denominations (ZHOCD) today paid a courtesy call on President Mnangagwa at State House in Harare, where they discussed the role of the church in fostering national development.
Speaking after meeting the President, Rev. Ignatius Makumbe, who was part of the delegation, said the visit was purely pastoral and aimed at seeking God’s guidance for the country’s leadership and prosperity.
“Our visit is solely pastoral,” he said.
“When we talk of a pastoral visit, we are simply coming to pray with the President for wisdom and for prosperity in our nation, Zimbabwe.
ZHOCD is an ecumenical coalition comprising four apex Christian bodies: the Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC), the Zimbabwe Catholic Bishops’ Conference (ZCBC), the Evangelical Fellowship of Zimbabwe (EFZ) and the Union for the Development of Apostolic Churches in Zimbabwe Africa (UDACIZA).
The church leaders emphasised the importance of spiritual well-being in driving national progress, noting that citizens who are peaceful and spiritually grounded will contribute positively to the country’s development.
