Zimbabwe



Well I am headed out to Zimbabwe on Monday. Here are a few prayer requests:

-Safety as we travel
-Quickly finding a place to stay (long term)
-Favor with local government and UN officials
-Favor with Zimbabweans as westerns are not looked upon with favor there
-Wisdom as we look for the best place and work for SP to be involved in

I will be writing more about Zimbabwe late but it is a country that is in dire need; inflation is over 8000% (highest in the world), it use to be the bread basket of Africa but now millions are on the brink of starvation, and thousands have been killed or tortured by the current government.

Our brothers and sisters there need our prayers.
