Zambia sets elections for September

I am only a single person, one that is far from a political commentator or expert. However, in the interest of communications and openess I am providing news from Zambia and trying to educate families as the news unfolds. I thought this was important to highlight, since many US citizens will unfortunately jump to conclusions of unrest and uneasiness. If there is anything mistaken in this post please immediately let me know.

On June 16th the President of Zambia announced the dissolution of Parliament effective July 26th. In America this act would seem to be the beginning of significant strife. However, in Zambia according to the National Constitution it is one method to begin the election process due in 2007.

Please pray for also for the Zambian people, democracy as they move toward another public election and stand up their electorale commission.

“For I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” - Jeremiah 29:11
