Abstract

Pentecostal churches in Zimbabwe have large number of followers and these were also affected by the Covid 19 pandemic which has been and is still torturing the entire world. These churches have leadership structures at different levels ranging from national to smaller groups of an assembly. There is need to understand the roles played by leadership at different levels in fighting against the pandemic in Zimbabwe. The study used an online survey to reach out to leaders and learn their efforts in managing the Covid 19 pandemic. The survey got insights into encounters of the leaders with the pandemic as well as different roles which they played in managing both the virus and their members. Findings suggested that at the onset of the pandemic, fears were pronounced and leaders used awareness, sharing of biblical and encouragement messages, prayers and counselling to help members to overcome fear.
