    Women Together in Prayer for Zimbabwe
    February 15, 2006

    This is what the Lord says; "A cry of anguish is heard in Ramah, mourning and weeping unrestrained . . . . . . ." Rachael weeps for her children . . . . . . .but now the Lord says "do not weep any longer for . . . ..there is hope for your future." Jeremiah 31: 15-16

    W.T.P.Z is very disturbed at the harassment of our sisters in WOZA during their recent legitimate and peaceful protest against the hardships that all Zimbabweans are experiencing.

    As women leaders in the church, we feel we have an obligation to stand with the legitimate demands of WOZA. We have committed ourselves to praying for the people of Zimbabwe to be delivered from the senselessness that has characterised governance in our country.

    We reiterate that women and children are the ones that are suffering from the stubborn behaviour of our politicians. We join our sisters in WOZA in calling on the Zimbabwean government to create an environment that will respect and respond to the genuine call by all of us to restore human dignity and to end all threats to sources of livelihoods and human security.

    We will continue to pray and mention by name all politicians that are standing in the way of justice, freedom and peace.

    We call on all women in Zimbabwe not to lose hope.

    Bishop Judith Muyanga
    National Chairperson
    Rev. Vimbai G. Mugwidi
    Secretary-General
