Liberia Prays Ebola Out

President believes that God is the
ultimate solution of the
Ebola crisis 

Liberians from all walks of life have been asked to observe three days of National Fast and Prayer beginning Wednesday, August 6, through Friday, August 8, 2014, from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily, the Executive Mansion announced yesterday in Monrovia.  The three-day fast and prayer is Liberia's way of soliciting God's intervention in its ongoing war against the deadly Ebola outbreak.

President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in a brief statement released by the Liberian presidential palace said: “Acknowledging our devout gratitude to God for our existence as a Free, Sovereign and Independent State, and relying on His Divine Guidance for our survival as a Nation, I call on all Liberians to observe three days of National Fast and Prayer to seek God’s face to have mercy on us and forgive our sins and heal our land, Liberia, as we continue the fight against the deadly Ebola virus.”

According to the Liberian leader, God is the ultimate solution to this crisis and source of Liberia’s deliverance as a nation.
