Zimbabwe, Africa

My passion for missions has always been tied in with a heart for Africa. I still recall crying for the starving babies and children of Biafra in the early 60s. Even as a young teen, I felt moved to tears--both repelled and captivated by the scenes of starvation, disease and flies. I watched events unfold in what was The Belgian Congo when it became Zaire and then more recently The Congo. I follow the events in Sudan, Eritrea and Ethiopia. And most recently, I am watching and praying over the tragedy in Zimbabwe.

I invite you to read this article from Christianity Today. And I ask you to pray for God to bring justice and shalom to this country.

Thank you.
