Keep Praying for Zimbabwe

My interest in Zimbabwe goes back nearly a decade, when the people of my former parish became World Vision sponsors for a child in that country. I've watched with rising horror as the government of dictator Robert Mugabe has maintained power through repression, violence, and neglect. Meanwhile, inflation is out of control and unemployment presently stands at 80% of the work force.

Now, Mugabe, owing to his paranoia, is throwing out nearly all nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that provide relief to people on the ground and is intimidating diplomats seeking to document Mugabe's savage regime. See here.

Please pray for the people of Zimbabwe. Please ask that God will facilitate efforts, internal and external to that country, at bringing about the end of repression and neglect there. Please pray for a peaceful end to Mugabe's reign. Please pray that NGOs with their relief and development professionals, will be allowed back into Zimbabwe. Thanks!
