WOMAN DIES IMMEDIATELY AFTER TESTIMONY IN CHURCH
WOMAN DIES IMMEDIATELY AFTER TESTIMONY IN CHURCH
A
hairdresser died in the church immediately after giving testimonies before the
congregation at Universal Church of God.
The
deceased, simply identified as Mpofu attended a church service at Bulawayo area
of Zimbabwe where she gave a testimony thanking God for the wonders He had done
in her life.
According
to reports by B-metro, Mpofu slumped immediately after sharing her testimony
and died in the church.
A close
relative who asked for anonymity told the media that they were very
disappointed and confused as they were not sure if the testimony was the reason
behind Mpofu’s death.
“It is
very sad that our family member died this way. She was someone who was a
dedicated church member which now turns to be a surprise that she died in the
house which she thought was the safest,” said the relative.
“What is
more surprising is when all this happened the church did not notify us that she
had collapsed choosing to keep her for six hours. We do not know why they kept
her in church when they were aware that her condition was critical, that is why
we are suspecting foul play,” he continued.
The
deceased’s husband left mourners in shock when he asked all church members to
leave the funeral.
It was
clear that he wanted nothing to do with Universal Church members and their
pastors.
A pastor
who declined to be named said they did not bother attending the funeral as they
were not on good terms with Mpofu’s family. Mpofu was buried on Monday.
Efforts to get a comment from the church on the incident involving
their deceased member were fruitless as a pastor that invited B-Metro over for
a comment asked for written questions that he said would be sent to their
lawyers for a response.
