WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR ZIMBABWE ON SUNDAY 27th April, 2008
A desperate cry from the hearts of Zimbabwe screams across the world.
It calls upon all Christians of every denomination in every nation to focus their prayers, in churches, halls, homes or elsewhere, on Sunday 27th April 2008 on the critical situation in Zimbabwe, a nation in dire distress and teetering on the brink of human disaster.
Let the cry for help touch your heart and mind. Let it move you to do what You can immediately to ensure this DAY OF PRAYER takes place in your country and neighbourhood.
Please pass on this message right now to all the churches and Christian organisations known to you and to the media as well as to everyone anxious to rescue Zimbabwe from violence, the concealing and juggling of election results, deceit, oppression and corruption, and to bring about righteousness, joy, peace, compassion, honesty, justice, democracy and freedom from fear and want.
May a continual strong stream of prayer and supplication flow up to the Lord On behalf of all the people on this DAY OF PRAYER, exhorting His divine intervention throughout the nation.
“It is by making the truth publicly known that we recommend ourselves to the honest judgment of mankind in the sight of God.” ( 2 Corinthians 4:2)

The Archbishop of York, Dr. John Sentamu, will be conducting prayers for Zimbabwe on the hour, throughout the day, at York Minster.
Amongst others:-
Put thou thy trust in God,
In duty’s path go on;
Walk in His strength with faith and hope,
So shall thy work be done.
Commit thy ways to Him,
Thy works into His hands,
And rest on His unchanging word,
Who heav’n and earth commands.
Though years on years roll on,
His cov’nant shall endure;
Though clouds and darkness hid His path,
The promised grace is sure.
Give to the winds thy fears:
Hope, and be undismay’d,
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears;
God shall lift up thy head.
Through waves, and clouds, and storms,
His power will clear thy way:
Wait thou His time, the darkest night
Shall end in brightest day.
Amen.

I was privileged to pray with some Zimbabweans st my church this morning. They were so pleased to hear that the world was praying for and with them today. I say, starting with today, we pray without ceasing for God’s intervention in Zimbabwe and for an end to violence against people and animals.
