Drama as youth leader almost dies fasting for a Lamborghini for his girlfriend. There was drama, chaos and shock as a well-respected church member almost lost his life due to fasting. However, the reason for fasting is the one that has made this story be viral as it is.
A Risen Saints Church Bindura youth leader Mark Muradzira (27) almost died after an absolute fast that lasted 33 days and 33 nights. He was fasting for a Lamborghini after his girlfriend had said it’s her dream car.
He hid in the mountains so no one could force him to eat until he was rescued by a friend, looking frail and almost unrecognisable. His target was 40 days and 40 nights. He is being treated at Bindura General Hospital and is showing signs of recovery. His church leader Bishop Mawuru said it was unfortunate that he had decided to fast for a Lambo.
“He should at least have fasted for a job since he is unemployed.” Church members tried to raise the money to buy him a Lambo but soon gave up after it was announced the cheapest they could get was going for around $400 000.
The $37 and 250 RTGS they had raised has since been diverted to settle the increasing medical bill.
“Health and wealth” gospel victim.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone fasting in an attempt to have a worldly temptation *fulfilled*.
Stupid idiot.
I suppose working hard and earning the money was out of the questions?
Oh, no. Pics of the babe and car first. FR really is slippin’.
Fasting doesnt always mean no food or drink.
Biblical fasting doesnt always mean no food or drink.
There are various levels of what is called fasting.

Concur.
I’ve done fasting where you’re on liquids for a week or two.
LOL! That’s Satan!
“...preferably in paper currency, not coins. (“Change makes your minister nervous in the service,” he would tell his congregation.) “
He was very entertaining.
My friends all drive Porches, I must make ammends"...Jans Joplin .
I did a 10 day fast, where I was on Demerol every 4 hours...but it did work to break my cigarette habit.
Wow, that sounds...unpleasant.
I don’t get why he thought he would get a Lambo that way.
It’s the same logic as a kid holding his breath til he turns blue uses to try and get his way.
Hah.
I fasted for 16 days- only water and black tea- and sailed right through it. The only reason I broke my fast was to eat with family who were in town. I could have kept going without flinching.
