The @tt@ck happened at Lifelong College on Rotten Row Road just before the service was set to begin.
Witnesses say that a man named Shingirayi Muyambo attacked Pastor Zhou while he was speaking with a fellow female pastor, who was decorating the stage.
She watched in horror as Pastor Zhou fell to the ground, ble3ding heavily from an injury caused by an okapi knife.
The reason for the @tt@ck is still unclear, and authorities are working to find out what led to this violence.
After the stabbing, Muyambo tried to flee, but quick-thinking bystanders caught him and handed him over to the police. They also recovered the knife used in the attack.
Pastor Zhou was rushed to the hospital, where he is in critical condition and fighting for his life.
The church community is devastated and is praying for his recovery.
Meanwhile, Muyambo has been charged with attempted murder and appeared in court, where he was remanded in custody as the police continue their investigation.
