#ICYMI: Barnabas visits Israel

Joburg – The bishop is expected to meet the leader of Israel to discuss various developments

 

The leader of the Zion Christian Church, Bishop Barnabas Lekganyane has announced that the church will undertake a peace mission to Israel.

The mission, according to a statement issued by the church, will primarily focus on engaging and nourishing the spiritual life of the church and its Christian heritage.

“As is well known amongst believers, there are many blessings that flow from an immersion with the Holy Land,” read the statement.

“At this time our own beloved country is in desperate need of many blessings such as rain, peace, prosperity and stability. The church will, as part of its mission, pray for the well-being of our country.”

The bishop is expected to meet with organisations and individuals with knowledge and expertise that Israel is famous for, including the fields of water, sustainable energy, education and agriculture that can help develop South Africa and its people.

The church reiterated that it was above politics.

“His grace Bishop Lekganyane spreads the word of peace wherever he goes. He will be, in the course of his tour, meeting with the various peoples of the region and their leadership, including President Reuven Rivlin and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Mayor of Jerusalem Nir Barkat.”

Lekganyane will use the opportunity to convey a message of dialogue and continued engagement between Israelis, Arabs and South Africans and continued efforts for peace and stability in the world, concluded the statement.
