Join us in praying for Zimbabwe
2009-03-04 23:52:00 Welcome to the first Love Zim prayer email. Thank you for your passion and commitment to pray for the people of Zimbabwe .Zimbabwe is at a crossroads. The Unity government, led by President Robert Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, has got radical choices to make. A choice between democracy and tyranny, failure or success, economic recovery or oblivion, mass suffering or healing. They can't do this alone and require the love, prayers and support of the global community as they rebuild their nation.The reality is that the signs so far are not good. Robert Mugabe's sincerity to bring about real change is still in question. Political prisoners and abductees have not been freed. Against the spirit of reconciliation, Deputy Minister Roy Bennet was arrested on the eve of the swearing in of ministers on charges related to his political activities. Thousands have died of cholera and are still dying on a daily basis. The police and Militias continue to harass and intimidate. Zi...

2008-12-23 15:47:00 People in Zimbabwe are now predicting that Mugabe will use the Cholera Crisis as an excuse to declare a national state of emergency so that he can ?legally? impose brutal Military Rule under Martial Law in Zimbabwe.

2008-08-26 04:47:00 Famines occur due to war, anarchy, floods, droughts, insects or blights.
