Zambia’s Ambassador to the EU, Dr. Inonge Mbikusita-Lewanika yesterday led scores of European members of Parliament (MEPs), royal families and other dignitaries from across Europe in fervent prayer for secular Europe to return to the God of the Bible and Christian values on which the European continent was founded.
At a packed annual prayer breakfast for members of the European Parliament held at the EU parliament in Brussels, Dr. Mbikusita-Lewanika beseeched God on behalf of Europe to remember the continent in mercy and save it from a moral crisis and economic woes.
The prayer breakfast, also a global event held in major cities of the world, was a gifted opportunity for the Zambian Embassy in Brussels to connect with several members of the European parliament.
Speaker after speaker on the prayer breakfast’s theme: Serving like Jesus in public life, lamented Europe’s fall from moral grace and challenged members of the European parliament to take a stand for Jesus Christ in the public sphere so that Europe could return to the faith of its founding fathers and mothers and the Christian values that enabled it send missionaries across the world where they pioneered education and health sectors.
This is contained in a statement to ZANIS from the Zambian mission in Brussels signed by Assistant Secretary for Press Samuel Ngoma.
And in his main message, Liechtenstein’s former Ambassador to the EU, Prince Charles-Louis de Merode, regretted that prayer in the high strata of society was now more seldom and rebuked those who were putting Jesus Christ on the back-seat of public life.
He challenged Europe’s secularists to take a cue from its wintry dark weather under cloudy skies which by no means meant there was no sun behind the clouds. “In the same way, we may not see God but that does not mean He is not there. Faith is an act of realism,” said Prince Merode.
One after another, the European dignitaries warned that for as long as there was no morality, there would be no real values in Europe as God had been taken out of the public sphere and the huge onus was on MEPs to now let their light shine.
Later, Dr. Mbikusita-Lewanika was chosen to be a panelist in a continued discussion after the breakfast within the EU premises where discussants shared similar cries, burdens, values, fire and hope for Europe to stand up against the continent’s vices such as drug abuse, hedonism, teenage delinquency, abortion and gay marriages.

Seems we have a good number of ‘Dr. Mbikusita Lewanikas’ in our Diplomatic Corps. or Govt. are they related? Just a thought. Our ambasador here also goes by the same name.
They re sister & brother
ALELUJAH PRAISE THE LORD, INDEED THIS CHILD OF GOD DID US PRIDE NOT THESE SELF ACCLAIMED CHILDLESS FATHERS LIKE FRANK BWALYA AND HIS REDCARD BLASPHEMY
INONGE IS A CHILD OF GOD MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS HER RICHLY. INDEED SHE IS NOT JUST AN AMBASSADOR FOR ZAMBIA BUT GOD’S AMBASSADOR AS WELL
Is this news?
If the EU can do it, why not Z? Thanks sisy, you make us proud.
Even when she is bitten by a mosquito tomorrow,it will make headlines……after-all she just read a written prayer.
#5, so what? Can you even read a written prayer yourself?
Learn to not be jealousy, and appreciate others. Most likely you are not a believer yourself, right?
ok guys where is the news in this? we have lots of people that speak in tongues. its not like she exorcized demons out of the Queen!!!
But zedians are so funny, these comments make me laugh… so whatever LT reports is news???? olo shud be news.. Hey europe is fast becoming a place with many beatifull churches than followers, soon the ratio will become 1 to1 minus the elderly.
Assistant Press at our Mission in Brussels has lost his senses. Of all issues in brussels, is reading a prayer something worth reporting, Ndabezita! She can not recall you just concentrate on reporting core issues important to our motherland. My guess is that she is the one who told you to report on this at gunpoint! What a shame!
that is news worthy definately. funny critics. learn to appreciate what is good and noble. do not critise anything and for the sake of it. that was profound and we need God in this generation of degradation. God forgive us and help us please.
Cyber Gloves@ 11, they have to put out something to justify why they are in these diplomatic missions, lol!! This is how pathetic your diplomats functions have gotten. Indeed, as Mule @5 asks, is this news?
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified
– Romans 8:28-30
#5, #11 & 13 may the lord clean virus in your minds you pagans.
People pray everyday and go to church everyday. So why should the reading of a prayer by a Zambian diplomat be news? @Mathew 7 – 16 (KJV) Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Iwe @15 Abena Dongosima: Satana iwe. Don’t pretend to the world and point a finger at others for the Bible says,
Matthew 7 – 21, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Very soon, we shall hear that Dr. Mbikusita Lewanika prayed at a Luncheon for families of Zambian diplomats in Brussels. Imwe bantu, is this something worth reporting? This is how low our Mission in Brussels has deteriorated. It has bcome useless. Plse report on something that can justify thousands of dollars that our tax payers pay you to represent them. Yes indded, the level of reporting calls for forensic investigations on the performance of that Mission.
Its a worth report for us who call upon the name of the Lord ,there is no better assignments than that of Glorifying Jesus in high places.Go mamam we thank God for you.
What is this lady still doing after the US. Did she also beg to be redeployed after her contract ended. Her colleague, Leslie Mbula has returned home after the collapse of the family tree. Its time for her to come back to resuscitate the “Agenda for Zambia” party!
Who told this Dr. Lewanika that Europe as a continent was founded on “the God of the Bible and Christian values”? A continent is a landmass devoid of its inhabitants and was created long before the Bible was written and that means long before christaianity was founded. Praising this diplomat for pronouncing her misguided thinking in public is the worst that our diplomatic service can go to. And you No. 14, what you are saying is irrelevant to the subject. Lady gaga at no. 3, gag your foul mouth and leave other people alone with their choice of life. SHUT UP!!

You are all missing the point by slamming mdme ambassador, two things I pick from this article that make it news worthy. Firstly, this event is a global event as the article mentions “The prayer breakfast, also a global event held in major cities of the world, was a gifted opportunity for the Zambian Embassy in Brussels to connect with several members of the European parliament”. Secondly, Europe is increasingly a circular nation, so the prayer breakfast is an opportunity to pray to our european brothers and sisters to embrace the lords teaching & Zambia being a christian nation, our ambassadors have a role to promote these values whereever they are stationed. So lets give the lady some props instead of always being cynical, self-loathing and jealous. Give credit where credit is due.
amen to the messenger. europe is in a state of moral decay and this cancer is spreading to africa!
This is a message that needs to be heard by our european counterparts. They are quickly falling off the radar and being overtaken by china and asia. The middle east and Africa have the potential to rise but europe is in a state of decay and falling quickly. There are many factors responsible for this but the spiritual foundation of this continent has been severely compromised and it is a fact that before things manifest in the natural there is a manifestation in the spiritual realm. The Inonge was spot on this one. Further more during kafupi’s time he could not get an audience with any world leaders of not, atleast the recognize Inonge’s ability and hence they not only invited her to this european meeting
and in fact allowed her to speak. Imagine sata openning his mouth yaba musebanya…
DR. INONGE MBIKUSITA LEWANIKA IS AN INDIVIDUAL THAT DOES NOT PRACTICE WHAT SHE PREACHED. SHAME ON HER!!!!!!
jelousy lady gaga,go to school .she is a doctor.
Bo Mukwae Inonge, you are such a great hero in some of us, I took some time to read today what he Lord has done in your life and what the Lord Jesus is still doing, you are great woman of God and the hand of the Lord is on you and Leadership is on you the best is yet to come. I will ever be grateful for what you have done in my life. Mu yoyange wino wino.
