Pray For Zimbabwe

All are invited to join us in prayer for Zimbabwe and our partners in the Southern Africa nation.
Lott Carey projects in Zimbabwe include support to churches, pastors, and community ministries

  • Hunger Relief
  • Seed for farmers
  • Theological training for pastors
    and church leaders

“Lott Carey empowers us to offer
theological education in a way that is
fitting to our own context without
dictating to us. Our Lott Carey family has
enhanced our dignity and our ministry in
Zimbabwe”
–Henry Mugabe, Professor, Zimbabwe
Theological Seminary

We pray for:
Lott Carey Mission Partners
§ Zimbabwe Theological Seminary
The churches, people, and government of Zimbabwe

We are thankful for:

  • the prophetic witness of churches to protest injustices and advocate good governance
  • efforts that have been made to stem the spread of HIV and AIDS and to
    treat those affected
  • economic progress that improves the lives of all
  • the iconic animals and minerals in this land and measures to protect
    them from being exploited.

We pray for:

  • fair election of a democratic government to counter instability, violence
    and human rights abuses
  • a stable economy that enables all people to prosper and live in justice
    and peace
  • effective measures to improve the health and life expectancy of all
  • the biodiversity and animals present in Zimbabwe, and measures to
    preserve them
  • the herders and farmers who continue to raise cattle and food, despite
    droughts and desertification.

Prayer from Zimbabwe:
Lord God,
we give you thanks for sending your only Son to give us life.
In the midst of wealth we are crushed by poverty,
and while we are offered Christ-life in all its fullness,
we are surrounded by disease, death and destruction.
We are tempted to despair, and yet keep hoping,
knowing that you care.

At times we weep silent tears, and cry out with deep emotion.
We come to you, our only hope and refuge.
Thank you for the gift of laughter,
even when the going is tough.
With you, O Lord, we may be troubled but not destroyed.
