Love Zim

Today I read Molly Manhanger's newsletter from Zimbabwe. It was truly humbling to read of what God is doing in a nation which is much in the news for all the wrong reasons. Yet to read of what God is doing amongst His people in Zimbabwe, the faith-filled, loving initiatives of the church, the practical compassion for the poor and hungry is nothing short of inspiring. Then to discover an audacious plan from the church to feed the nation .... wow!
In reading of the daily plight of those living in Zim I am reminded too to be grateful for every time I can turn a tap in my home, for a fridge with cool milk, for cupboards with food, for a doctors surgery down the road, for a £10 note which will be worth £10 tomorrow and the next day and next week.
I am very grateful.
Sunday 26th September is the date we are being asked to remember Zimbabwe and to join the nations for a Day of Prayer and Fasting for Zimbabwe.
