South Africa: almost one million people pray together
On 22 April a mass prayer session under the theme ‘It’s Time’ outside Bloemfontein, South Africa, drew nearly one million people.
Farmer-turned-preacher Angus Buchan and his team organised the event and Christians from all walks of life and different denominations attended the prayer meeting. Serious matters such as the current political climate and crime were addressed in united prayer.
“I believe what’s taking place today is going to spread from South Africa right over the border into Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Botswana, Namibia right up to the Congo, right up to the top,” said Buchan referring to the prayer meeting. For Buchan, unifying South Africans has to start at home. “There’s some people here today, you want to save the whole world but your own home is a mess,” he said. “You are not talking to your wife, your children have left home. I have a very stern word for you from God: Put your own house in order before you try and help somebody else.”
