Zimbabwe
I really want to encourage you all to pray for Zimbabwe at this time. I think the next few weeks are crucial. It is clear that Mugabe has lost the election and is attempting a recount to presumably "claim" victory. If this is the case I can imagine that there will be a lot of violence, some have even suggested a genocide. We are connected with people who work in Zimbabwe as missionaries. Life is really tough for everyone with inflation at over 1000%. A loaf of bread today will cost twice the amount tomorrow. There are many things going on which the outside world does not hear about. I think if the world takes a stand that there could be real change for this country, a hope and a future. The Zimbabweans need their freedom.
