MONROVIA – In complete defiance to recently announced health regulations, the Saint Assembly Church located in the Old Road community on Thursday evening gathered on a field for a crusade, noting that it is time to pray for the nation. The Ministry of Health on Sunday declared a national health emergency and announced several health regulations including a ban on religious gatherings and worship services in an effort to curtail the spread of Covid-19 of which Liberia already has three confirmed cases. But the Saint Assembly Church believes it would prayers to rid the infectious disease out of Liberia. Kortu Brown, told FrontPgeAfrica on Friday morning that Saint Assembly ignored a team from the LCC that was dispatched to the field to assist the police to disperse them. Though Liberia is a Christian dominant nation, the action of Saint Assembly received several condemnations on social during the Facebook live broadcast of their crusade and prayer session.
