Dear Colleagues,
I request that you be in prayer for my country Zimbabwe. They will be holding a very crucial election tomorrow, Saturday. Many Zimbabweans feel that this election is a sort of final verdict on/about the economic meltdown that has taken place there for the past 15yrs. The campaigning has been remarkably peaceful. However, there have been intermittent statements uttered by members of the opposition to the effect that if the incumbent president Mugabe wins, they will engage in the now "proverbial" Kenya-style violence. One of them is reported to have said that the violence, anarchy, and bloodshed that took place in Kenya are a mere picnic compared to what will happen if Mugabe wins the election. So, please help us pray for peace and that if there are any disputes, they would be resolved amicably. Thanks.
