October 24th: Zambian Independence Day
Loving God, we thank you for the beauty of your creation and for the land of Zambia. We lift up Zambia and its leaders, praying for wisdom, knowledge, and a deep sense of responsibility to protect the environment
We also pray for the country as it comes to terms with the loss of USAID and all that this lack of funding means to the poorest people in the country, especially in the provision of Anti-Retroviral Drugs to all those who are born HIV positive. (US Aid had been paying for these drugs)
We pray for integrity and compassion for the elected Government as they seek to navigate this new territory and that they will work to protect those who are the most vulnerable in their society. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
The Reverend Rosemary Fletcher
