*AFM Church Loses 25% Membership To Cyclone Idai - Report* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?pj The Apostolic Faith Mission in Zimbabwe (AFM)’s Rusitu West Parish in Chimanimani says it lost 72 members to cyclone Idai-induced floods. The figure represents about a quarter of its congregation. Several more church members are still unaccounted for. During a church service held on Sunday, the extent of the tragedy became clear to the pastor, Shepherd Chazoita, and other surviving members as only half of the church members were accounted for. ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

Said Chazoita: > When all this happened, I was not around. I was attending a funeral in Harare, but when I received a message on Saturday after Cyclone Idai had wreaked havoc (the previous day), I did not believe what I was told. > I stay at the church premises, and luckily, the church (building) was not destroyed. I received a call from my family and they told me what had happened. At that time, there was still hope that some of the members had survived, but I realised that the number was too big. > I am also still traumatised, but I need to be strong as a leader. I am using the Bible to remain strong. As a leader, my pain should be different from others. Reverend Madawo promised the remaining congregants that more truckloads of supplies would be delivered. He said: > I feel sorry that we have our 72 congregants that are not accounted for. We are sharing this pain with all those who lost their loved ones during Cyclone Idai. > I want to thank those who donated towards Cyclone Idai victims. We have two truckloads with blankets, clothes and groceries. More trucks are coming and this is not going to benefit our church members only, but all those who were affected by the cyclone. *Related:* *Cyclone Idai: Township Totally Wiped Out In Machongwe – Minister Moyo* *More: Newsday* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
