The Diocese continues to suffer from intimidation, strife and brutality from the former regime with the help of the government, but the Anglicans continue to live out their faith, worship, and share despite hardships. ( 'and more were added to their number')
Prayer for Diocese of Harare CPCA
Almighty God, your son Jesus Christ suffered rejection, shame and death on the cross: Strengthen your people of the Anglican Diocese of Harare CPCA, who are suffering at the hands of the police and those who hate them.
Save them:
From hatred, anger and revenge when teargas is thrown at them and they are driven from their churches;
From bitterness when they are beaten, maimed and imprisoned for insisting on worshiping you in their churches;
From despair when they worship you in the scorching heat, rain or smelly gullies.
Give them grace and courage to hold on to the faith and not lose hope, through our only true liberator Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
