“We beckon to all faith based groups the world over to intercede for God’s mercy and intervention and bring to an end this threat to human existence”.

“We  also call on the United Nations to as a matter of urgency declare a day for global prayers, for God’s intervention across the world from this global pandemic”.

“We pray for God’s protection over our families, community members, regions and nations of the world, we pray for healing for those in turmoil of the virus”.

“Our hope and prayers for those that are quarantined and for God’s mercy and healings”.

“We call on all religious groups and institutions to continue to educate their adherents on the basic knowledge of hand washing, and to avoid touching other sensitive part of the head with the hands”.

“Our faith is strong as we pray for those that are vulnerable.”

They also prayed for the success of the various medical teams and researchers working day and night across the globe to end the pandemic.
