Надявам се, че са се молили за нея във вашата църква, както правим ние за онези, които загубиха живота си от болести в нашите села. Кой от вас знае точно къде е Монгбвалу?

Mongbwalu je rudničко место у источној ДРК, како што каже чланак. Како што свештеник моли за своју племенку, молимо се и ми за све који су у беди од болести.

Hvala Ljubice, tačno si navela Mongbwalu kao epicentar. Denis Dalanga je izgubio nećaku tamo u maju, pa mi je drago što si spomenula konkretno njegovu molitvu za nju. Molim se i ja da pastori uspeju da razbiju te lažne vesti koje samo pogoršavaju stvar.

Tačno, Nikola, taj deo o nećaki u maju me je najviše pogodio. Znam da su u Mongbwalu ljudi još uvek skeptični prema vakcinama jer su čuli da je to „zapadna zavera“. Kako ti misliš, šta pastori najviše mogu da urade da razbiju te glasine na terenu?

Tačno, ta priča o Dalanginoj nećaki u maju je stvarno teška. Mislim da pastori najviše mogu da urade tako što će sami primiti vakcinu pred svojim ljudima i otvoreno pričati na bogosluženjima, a ne samo na sastancima. Stefan, jesi li čuo da li se nešto slično već pokazalo kao delotvorno u nekom selu tamo?

Tačno, ta smrt nećake u maju je stvarno potresla mnoge. Mislim da bi pokazivanje vakcine na bogosluženju moglo da pomogne, ali sam čuo da su u nekim selima oko Bunije pastori prvo morali da ubede starešine plemena pa tek onda narod. Jesi li čula nešto o tome kako su to uradili?
