Close to 200,000 Methodists in Fiji and abroad are taking turns in praying and fasting for a period of 61 days as the Church takes a spiritual approach to combat the COVID-19 epidemic.

While church members are urged to heed all government restrictions and health procedural measures, the Methodist Church will not rest on its laurels, but use all its spiritual resources to fight against the epidemic.
The scriptural text for this program is 2 Chronicles 7:14 (If my people are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and will heal their land) It is not enough just to say, “pray for it”, or “let us pray about it”.
