NCCL believes that in such a difficult time it is only the interventions of God almighty that Liberia can defeat the deadly Covid-19.

The group further added that, as national Leaders, is also necessary for Lawmakers join other Liberians to have a spiritual encounter with God on behalf of the Country.
