Mission Prayer Meeting - Zimbabwe

Our Mission Prayer Meeting starts up again on Sunday 5-5.45pm in the upper meeting room. This week we will be praying for Zimbabwe along with others from all around the world.

The Most Rev. Thabo Makgoba of Capetown, South Africa released this statement for help:

"The plight of the people of Zimbabwe is heart-breaking. Already bruised, broken and crushed by oppression and economic hardship before the elections, they are now even more divided, despondent and, in many cases, hopeless than they were before. At a time of growing global hunger, their situation is particularly acute – four million Zimbabweans depend on food aid and NGOs are reporting that in some areas political violence is making it difficult to supply food...."
