Delta At 28: Christians Begin One-Month Prayer, Fasting
A Christian group, known as Christian Community Platform, has commenced a one-month marathon intercessional fasting and prayer for Delta State to mark the 28th anniversary of the creation of the state.
Delta State was carved out from the defunct Bendel State on August 27, 1991.
The Chairman of the group’s Board of Trustee, Bishop Greatman Nmalagu, disclosed this in an interview with newsmen in Asaba at the weekend.
He said that the event was tagged “pray and seek for the peace and prosperity of Delta”.
Nmalagu said that the creation of Delta out of the old Bendel was by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
He said that the Christian faithful ought to pray and fast for God to bless and heal the state and its people.
Nmalagu underscored the need for the citizenry to pray ceaselessly for the state, to demonstrate their love for Delta and appreciation of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa’s achievements.
