The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all Africans regardless of regional and national borders, age, creed, political and social status. As such, it is necessary that it is countered by a unified global family. The African Day of Prayer will be an opportunity to come together, to rededicate efforts in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, to pray for protection for those at the frontlines of this fight, and to seek the wisdom needed to emerge victors.
