Zimbabwe and Belgium, who have both just finished their legs of the prayer chain - go on, pat yourselves on the back!! - have something in common.
For both countries, the timing of their prayer day/week sharpened their focus considerably. In Zimbabwe, the fuel and food shortages, police crackdowns on informal traders, and continued financial hardship were the backdrop. In Belgium, last week's 'NO' votes from both France and Netherlands to the proposed European constitution mean things that the political game is interestingly poised going into the G8 and the UK's presidency of the EU.
Father - speak your word of life into both Europe and Zimbabwe. Not our agenda, will or timing, but yours alone. Be glorified, we pray.
