Southern Province Update

As many of you know - the Southern and Western Province of Zambia has been hit especially hard with flooding from the heavy rainy season. The following is an update from a missionary friend in the Southern Province trying to minister to these people as best he can..

"...The situation in Zambia continues to be desperate. Many roads are washed out and large areas cut off from help due to the floods. Weather forecasts are calling for 2 more months of heavy rain. If this happens, all of the crops will be lost. Thousands of mud homes have been destroyed and multitudes of believers are homeless and facing death. Starvation, malaria, exposure, and disease are taking their toll on the Zambian people. The old and young are the first to succumb but all are at risk..."

Please continue to pray for our Lord to open doors of opportunity and reach many during this time of crisis!
