Zimbabwe is on my mind this morning. Check out this article on cnn.com.

...Zimbabwe's currency continues to lose value as inflation gallops ahead. The official rate of inflation is 230 million percent, the world's highest, but independent analysts put the figure in billions.

...Meanwhile, the fight against a cholera outbreak in the capital city, Harare, seems to be faltering as more deaths are reported. Official statistics say 10 people have died since last week, but doctors say the disease has killed more than 30. The country is battling to raise foreign currency to import medicine.


I'm also thinking a lot about my friend Regina who's on Zimbabwe soil right now, bleeding out her heart for the people and the country. Please pray for her, the work she's doing and for the people her life touches. There is so much prayer needed.
