A group of community members braved the cold weather and recently held a prayer session for all the frontline workers especially the healthcare workers at the Netcare Mulbarton Hospital.

According to a report carried by the Alberton Record, members of Fearless Life Ministries initially gathered at the Cuddle Inn Nursery School in Mulbarton before heading to the hospital to pray for the staff, the sick and Covid-19 patients.

Kruger said her father was diagnosed with the raging pandemic and he was hospitalised at the Netcare facility. She told the publication:

“My dad got Covid and on Wednesday. The ambulance came to fetch him and took him to Netcare Mulbarton Hospital. In the last few days, I have just been praying and interceding for him. And because we couldn’t get through to him, we decided to organise a prayer meeting outside the hospital. We posted it on Facebook and people started reaching out saying ‘my son is in hospital, my daughter is in hospital’, so we invited everyone. It was a non-denominational prayer session.”

eNCA also reported that a group of people also took part in an interfaith gathering to play for the frontline staffers in Cape Town earlier this year.

Pastor Gerhard de Vries Block of the Evangelical Lutheran Church was quoted by the television channel, saying it was important to hold such prayer sessions. He said:

"In normal circumstances, any leader in this community would go freely to the house of a sick or bereaved person. But due to lockdown, we are not allowed to do that anymore."
