According to the news outlet, the death of Francisco Baraja was confirmed on Wednesday, February 15, 2023.
The deceased was the pastor and founder of the Santa Trindade Evangelical Church in Manica, Central Province, Mozambique before his sad death.
Pastor Baraja was reportedly receiving treatment at a hospital in Beira before his death. He was taken there in critical condition after 25 days of fasting.
Reports say that the man of God has lost a lot of weight to the point where he cannot stand up, shower or walk, and efforts to help him regain health have failed.
As his condition was deteriorating, his relatives and church members thought it prudent to take him to the hospital for treatment.
Doctors tried their best to save Pastor Baraja but the damage to his health was probably beyond redemption, so he gave up the ghost.
People who saw his condition before he died were reportedly at least surprised because the man of God was suffering from severe illness.
Relatedly, in 2019, a 46-year-old preacher died after deciding to embark on a 40-day fast.
A Nigerian evangelist, Chidi Ike, has reportedly died after fasting for 40 days and nights at Ejiala Nguru in Ngor Okpala Council Area of Imo State.
He reportedly left his wife and children in Lagos and relocated to Imo State, claiming he received a call from God to go into ministry.
He successfully completed 21 days of the 40-day dry fast, but did not live to finish it.
