The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Namibia (Elcin) has called on its members to observe a week of prayer and staying at home next week.
Presiding Bishop Shekutaamba Nambala issued a letter of encouragement to Elcin congregations amid the challenges brought by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Nambala said they thank God for the over 60 000 Namibians who have recovered from Covid-19.
“Notwithstanding the reported medical recoveries from this disease, the number of deaths due to Covid-19 is on the increase. Medical treatment of this virus requires too much input, extreme patience and sacrifices,” he wrote.
Nambala called on all Elcin members to kneel before God wherever they find themselves. He also pleaded with them to adhere to the health regulations and avoid gatherings.
“The week of 12 to 16 July will be observed as a week of prayer and staying at home. This week all church offices should be closed.
“Church servants are only allowed to perform critical or essential services such as burials, and as soon as they finish the performed service, they should immediately return home to prayer,” he said.
The bishop also urged people to get vaccinated.
