Pray for Zimbabwe: prosperous a few years ago, facing starvation now
From a missionary in Zimbabwe:
"Life in Zimbabwe is chaotic! We have been on an extremely rapid decline economically and Police interference with the work is around the corner. As the elections approach that pressure will increase. Ruling party sanctioned looting of shops and businesses are the order of the day. Shops are bare and many shop managers languish in prison.
Now its no food (sugar, bread, milk, meat, mealie meal, rice, fruit, cooking oil, salt, tinned food, fuel, cash, and the list goes on). Ministry is still fully on track, just talking to anyone outside of Zim by sms, phoning, or getting their emails have been challenges."
