(Zimbabwe)–Meanwhile, the food shortage in Zimbabwe continues and the country’s president is compounding the problem. According to the BBC, they’ve uncovered evidence of widespread political interference in the distribution of food by President Robert Mugabe’s supporters. Ironically, reports indicate that food aid is difficult to come by in areas where people voted against the president back in March. Christians are being asked to pray that this practice will end and that they’ll be effective in outreach in the region.
