Under the Oak

Jan Raath of the London Times  gives an update on the situation in Zimbabwe. I have heard two or three reports on the work in this country, so I was excited when I read this. It sounds like there is reason to hope for continued improvement thanks to the efforts of Morgan Tsvangirai (and no I can’t pronounce that) who is “power sharing” with Mugabe.

His first move was simply to dump Robert Mugabe’s joke currency and allow US dollars and other convertible currencies to circulate freely. Immediately it unjammed a multitude of cogs in the nation’s stricken engine. The infusion of just a little real money has enabled the Harare city council to make a modest start on the worst of the decay left by the shameless Mugabe, his ministers and officials.

In a country where Christians get the food they need only because brethren are trucking it in from surrounding countries, it is good to hear that the financial situation may be improving. You can find the full article here.

Continue to pray for the Christians in Zimbabwe. They have been through a lot of pain and suffering and they aren’t out of the woods yet.
