A Mozambican Man of God has died while embarking on a 40-day fast to allegedly break the record of Jesus in the Bible.

Lagos Local News reports that the Pastor could only do twenty-five (25) days out of the targeted forty before he passed away.

The death of the Man of God identified as Francisco Barajah was confirmed on Wednesday, February 15, 2023.

The deceased was the pastor and founder of the Santa Trindade Evangelical Church in the Mozambique’s central province of Manica.

Pastor Barajah was reportedly being treated at a hospital in Beira before he was pronounced dead. He had been rushed there in critical condition after 25 days of fasting.

The man of God had lost a lot of weight to the point where he could not stand up, bathe or walk, and efforts to help him regain his health failed, reports say.
