Pastor dies attempting 40-day Jesus fast
A Mozambican pastor has died after fasting for 40 days, in an attempt to copy what Jesus Christ is said to have done in the Bible.
The death of Francisco Barajah, the pastor and founder of the Santa Trindade Evangelical Church in the central province of Manica, was confirmed on Wednesday.
He died while being treated at hospital in Beira where he was evacuated in critical condition.

Attitude Is Everything! – Apostle Eric Nyamekye
The Chairman of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle Eric Nyamekye, has advised ministers and wives of the Church to make conscious effort to develop a positive attitude as it has a great bearing on the impact of their ministry.

The Director of the Men’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost (PEMEM), who doubles as an Executive Council Member of the Church, Apostle Vincent Anane Denteh, has urged church leaders to promote visitation in the local church since it is one of the most important and expressive ways the Church offers care and compassion to members in real-life situations.
