On 18 October 2025, Zambia commemorated the tenth anniversary of the National Day of Prayer, Fasting, Repentance, and Reconciliation. The event was observed at the Lusaka Showgrounds and across the country, bringing citizens together in reflection, unity, and thanksgiving.
The day combined solemn devotion with a spirit of joy, peace, and love. It offered Zambians an opportunity to give thanks to God for His mercy and abundant blessings over the years. President Hakainde Hichilema highlighted the significance of the milestone, noting that it calls the nation to pause, reflect, and acknowledge progress made under divine guidance.
Zambia is widely recognized for its rich natural resources, including minerals, water bodies, and fertile land. Yet, as the President emphasized, the country’s greatest strength lies in its people—their peaceful coexistence, unity, and shared faith. These qualities, he said, are gifts that require careful stewardship and daily commitment.
President Hichilema urged citizens to safeguard the nation’s peace, speak positively about Zambia, and continue to pray for one another. He stressed that such acts are not only Godly but also deeply rooted in biblical teachings.
Looking forward, the President called for a nation that seeks God’s guidance, practices humility, and upholds unity. He envisioned the next ten years as a period that demonstrates Zambia’s dedication to justice, peace, and compassion, both in word and in action.
The 10th anniversary of the National Day of Prayer, Fasting, Repentance, and Reconciliation served as a reminder of Zambia’s shared values and the enduring importance of faith in shaping the nation’s future. One Zambia. One Nation. Under One God.
