Dear All,
 
I don’t usually pass on this type of email, but I know from friends still living in Zimbabwe that the situation described is true.  Your prayers have more impact than you know!
 
Love and blessings

Please take 5 min to read this. If it helped England it will help the Zims.
They need all the help they can get.

This is from Margaret Kriel's Morning Mirror, please try and pass it on to
as many people as you can,
Many thanks


Dear World,

I am a 16 year old person living in Zimbabwe. I think the time has come for
a more direct 
appeal, and so I am writing to you, the world.

Maybe, just maybe, there might be someone out there who can help us...

It's tough here now. The inflation rate is so high that if you don't change
money within 6 
hours you could get half the amount of foreign currency that you would have
originally 
received.

We're starving now; people die around us. In the last year alone at least
ten people associated personally with my family have died despite the fact
that they were only middle-aged. Other people don't make it to middle age.
They don't even make it past childhood.

Our once-proud nation is on it's knees. We flee or die. This beautiful,
bountiful once-rich land has become a living hell. We have dealt with it
until now; we have made a plan. That was the Zimbabwean motto: "MAKE A
PLAN".   

But now we can't make a plan. We're too tired, too broken, too bankrupt. We
can't afford life, and life does not cost much, not really. We cannot afford
to eat, we cannot afford to drink, and we cannot afford to make mistakes,
because if we do we die. We don't have the capital to support ourselves, and
those few who do, have to deal with the horror of watching their friends and
family fall into absolute poverty as they cannot afford to help them.

We're waiting desperately for a great hand to pick us up out of the dirt
because at the moment we are outnumbered by Fate herself, and so we close
our eyes and pray. We have fought for too long, and have been brought to
breaking point. We simply stand, heads down, and bear it. Our spirit has
gone; we are defeated. After a valiant struggle of over fifteen years, we
have been broken.  
There is no will left, no spirit. Like a horse that has been beaten until it
cannot fight anymore; we are the same, and, like that horse, we stand dusty,
scarred and alone, with dried blood on our sides and lash marks along our
flanks. Our ribs too stand out; our hide is also dull.
Our eyes are glazed, our throats are  parched, and our knees struggle to
support us so that we  stand with splayed legs to bear the brunt of the next
beating, too dejected even to whimper...

This is my plea. The thought of picking ourselves up again is sickening; one
can only take so many blows before oblivion is reached, and we are teetering
on the rim of the bottomless void. One more push will be the end of us
all... 
There must be someone out there who can do something. There must be someone
out there who cares! We are a destroyed nation, and the world sits back and
watches, pretending they cannot hear our cries. I appeal to you all...

HELP US!
A 16 YEAR OLD ZIMBABWEAN......


DEAR FRIEND,

IN WORLD WAR II WHILE HITLER WAS BRUTALLY TAKING OVER THE WORLD, THERE WAS
AN ADVISOR TO CHURCHILL WHO ORGANISED A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO DROPPED WHAT
THEY WERE DOING EVERY NIGHT AT A PRESCRIBED TIME FOR JUST ONE MINUTE TO
COLLECTIVELY PRAY FOR THE SAFETY OF ENGLAND, ITS' PEOPLE AND  PEACE.

THINGS DRASTICALLY CHANGED AND WELL, THE REST IS HISTORY

GOD IS THE ANSWER AND PRAYER IS THE ONLY WAY FOR ZIMBABWE !

IN VIEW OF THE CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS IN ZIMBABWE WE ARE ORGANISING A
DAILY ONE MINUTE PRAYER TIME AT 8 A.M. OR 1 P.M. OR 8.00 P.M. AT ANY ONE OF
THESE TIMES, PLEASE STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND SPEND THAT ONE  MINUTE
PRAYING FOR  GOD TO INTERVENE  IN THE AFFAIRS OF OUR COUNTRY.

SOMEONE SAID IF CHRISTIANS REALLY UNDERSTOOD THE FULL EXTENT OF THE POWER WE
HAVE AVAILABLE THROUGH PRAYER, WE MIGHT BE SPEECHLESS.

OUR PRAYERS ARE THE MOST POWERFUL ASSET WE HAVE. TOGETHER. WE CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.

IF YOU KNOW ANY OTHER CHRISTIAN BROTHER AND SISTER WHO WOULD LIKE TO
PARTICIPATE IN THIS POWERFUL EXERCISE, PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG.

THANK YOU,

ZIMBABWE 
24-hour Solidarity Vigil
