Prayer and Solidarity for Zimbabwe

STRASBOURG, France — Danisa Ndlovu, president-elect of Mennonite World Conference and bishop of the Zimbabwe Brethren in Christ Church, has urged sisters and brothers around the world to renewed prayer for the people of Zimbabwe

On March 11, a prayer meeting being held near the Zimbabwean capital of Harare was violently broken up by police. One person was killed, and several people, including senior leaders of the Zimbabwean opposition, were seriously injured. Bishop Ndlovu reported that he did not know of BIC members who were involved in the incident. However, he and other BIC leaders have been participating in events organized by church and civil society groups to push for change in Zimbabwe’s corrupt and violent regime. Pray for wisdom for all those working for justice, and for a nonviolent end to the current Zimbabwean crisis.

Mennonite World Conference is organizing an international Koinonia delegation to visit the Zimbabwean Brethren in Christ Church, August 17-29, 2007. The primary purpose of the team will be to stand in visible communion with the Zimbabwe church at this time of unabated duress. Delegation members will divide in two groups to visit several BIC communities, and then participate in the church’s annual national assembly, August 22-26. The host church has requested that the delegation provide workshops on conflict transformation and peacebuilding. MWC Associate General Secretary Pakisa Tshmikia is organizing and will lead the delegation to Zimbabwe.
