The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, led the Christian Meeting in Prayer for Venezuela, an event in which he shared with Christian pastors in an emotional prayer of thanksgiving.
“We are in a wonderful time, I am grateful for this prayer of thanks, which we needed. Because we have been in constant prayer throughout the year, which has been a year of victory, of truth, of justice and of love, the fundamental values that changed human civilization,” said the president.
He commented that he admires “the faith, the capacity for work, the capacity for service, I admire the capacity of the Christian churches to go and seek out those who suffer. The words that you have brought us are born of a profound faith. I admire you, men and women of the Christian churches of this country; I love you very much.”
“I am David and I will defeat Goliath with the blessings of the people… I am loyal to the people, and because I am of the people I can recognize the dignity that you have,” said the president, while recalling that all the people are with him when he takes the oath of office on January 10.
"If someone wants to build a truly human society, with values, strengthened, as we want in Venezuela (…) they have to look for those values in Christ the Redeemer, who never discriminated against anyone," he said.
The ceremony was held in the Bicentennial Plaza of the Miraflores Palace, where religious pastors met with the national leader to reaffirm Venezuela as a blessed and free nation under the mantle of the Almighty.
During the ceremony, different pastors intervened with their speeches and supported the efforts for peace and economic growth that the national government has promoted, as well as showed their support for the upcoming swearing-in of the national president on January 10, 2025.
The event, which brought together apostles and pastors from different regions of the country, was also attended by the first combatant, Cilia Flores, the head of the Government of Caracas, Nahúm Fernández, as well as mayors, governors and members of Parliament.
