AFRICA UPDATE...PRAYER NEEDS

I am copying this report from Rich and Michelle's blog. These are the people we worked with while we were in South Africa. Rich is in Zimbabwe doing a crusade and this is a call to prayer for all of my blog readers to lift him up as you pray throughout the day. God is doing some amazing things in Africa!!!!

FROM IMPACT AFRICA BLOG
A Report from Zimbabwe
I have briefly heard from Rich while in Zim. Communication is tough. They had a great week in Kwe Kwe. Close to 10,000 people showed up each night to the crusade. He said people are so open and appreciative of them being there. Thousands are responding to the salvation message and there have been lots of tangible miracles.

The team is blown away at how receptive people have been and how appreciative the people are. The people are sharing how they have felt so forgotten and cast aside by their government and the outside world yet during such a dark and desperate hour the team has come to them to share hope. It is the first time in a long time they have felt valued or cared for. How precious!!

The team moved across town and will start another week of ministry tonight in this new area.

Please continue to pray for the safety and well being of the group there ministering. Rich said the electricity is out at least 4-6 hours a day yet they have food to eat and have lots of bottled water so are glad for those things.

Please continue to pray for open and receptive hearts during ministry this week. Unfortunately we can’t change the political situation or feed the entire crowd yet we can love on them and share with them the One who loves them the most. Encouragement seems to be going a long way.

Please pray there would be restoration to this nation….such a travesty what is happening to these precious people. Thousands are flocking to South Africa for safe haven. The town of Musina (closest border city) is ill prepared for so many people…..pray there would be a quick solution within the country of Zim to end such unnecessary suffering.

Thank you for praying!!
