Pastor Dies After 30 Days of Fasting To Beat Jesus Record

A South African pastor, Alfred Ndlovu
has died of malnutrition after going
without food for 30 days when he tried
to emulate Jesus Christ and fast for 40
days and 40 nights.
Buzz South Africa reports that the 44-
year-old pastor left home on June 17
for a nearby bush to have prayers, just
like Jesus did. Attempting to equal or
break Jesus Christ record of fasting for
40 days, Mr Alfred Ndlovu died just a
month despite having no history of
illness. He was alone in the wilderness
and his body was found by a stranger
who then called the police. He was
known by his family and community at
large as a very spiritual person whose
faith could move mountains and his
death surprised everyone, even church
members.
One close relative said: ‘He was a very
spiritual man. It’s unfortunate he had
to die this way. After a month we got
the sad news of his death. The pastor
was a healthy and religious old man
who did not even look his age.
