Misery Index - LTLA Prayer Bulletin - May 2023

 Dear LTLA Friends,



Thank you to those who responded to our appeal for financial help! Your support will keep us going during the summer months when our gift income is lower. It will certainly help us as we face increased needs in the country that has been named the most miserable place to live in 2022. You can read about it in the following link:

The situation is only getting worse as the exchange rate of the Zimbabwe Dollar for one US Dollar has increased from 850 Zim Dollars in January to 2000 Zim Dollars in May for $1 USD. The result of this is a further increase in prices for basic goods, only making things harder for the Zimbabwean people. So, thank you for your contributions that help us share the love of God in tangible ways with the people to whom we are ministering.


Our team member, Tsungai, is needing to undergo radiation treatments to help kill off any remaining cancer cells after a hysterectomy identified evidence of cervical cancer. Typically this radiation treatment could be performed at one of two government hospitals in the country, but both of the machines are not in operational order. So she is left with the private clinic route which is more than twice the cost, $4000. She, like most Zimbabweans, does not have medical insurance and does not have the money to pay for this treatment. Our ministry would like to help her. If you would like to contribute toward this need, you can send a check to:

Life to Life Africa

(Write "Tsungai" in the memo line)

I must admit that I personally am feeling very discouraged with the ongoing struggle of the people in Zimbabwe. They topped the list of most miserable in 2022 but there are countless other people around the world who face very similar circumstances. It can be overwhelming to consider, but I know that God sees it all and he has made a way for people to be saved along with prompting his people to help bring good for the glory of his Name. Would you pray for Life to Life Africa as we seek the Lord to strengthen us to persevere and guide us in doing good? (1 Peter 4:19)


Committed to our faithful Creator,
