This morning I had the privilege of eating breakfast at IHOP (International House of Prayer Pancakes ) with 2 of our precious prayer missionaries, Joshua Pauley and Ruth Pearce, who will be attending The Seed Sowers Prayer Summitthis July. Over scrambled eggs and pancakes, we had a wonderful time of prayer for each other, and for Zimbabwe.
Josh has been given an encouraging word from our Lord, right out of Isaiah 58 and Joel 2! I encouraged you to read these passages as we answer a Call to Fasting & Prayer, from June 14-28. Will you join with us as we fast and pray for Zimbabwe?
“Yet even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning, and rend your hearts and not your garments.” -Joel 2:12

“Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord does not count against him, and in whose spirit is no deceit.When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity.I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord’—and you forgave the guilt of my sin.”
-Psalm 32:1-5

“And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.”
Lord, ignite a passion for prayer and fellowship with other believers that would lead us to adopt a lifestyle that proclaims to the world, “YOU are our only treasure!”

Greetings to you, brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus! The Pray Now Zimbabwe website exists to identify, unite, and ignite the Body of Christ in a global prayer network for Zimbabwe. My name is Casey McKown, and I am honored to serve as your “Prayer General” as we intercede for Zimbabwe before the throne of Jesus Christ, our Commander in Chief. God broke my heart for Zimbabwe in November of 2009, while traveling with my good friend, Michael Smalley. Since then, God has been connecting me with Rhodesians from across the world, as well as many in the Houston area. This is our urgent call to prayer…
Brothers and sisters, we are engaged in a face-to-face, spiritual conflict for the souls and men and women, and the destiny of nations.Ephesians 6:13 says “Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.”
Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the war has been won, but the conflict rages on.Let us unite together and pursue a radical, wartime lifestyle as we pray for the transformation that only God can bring to Zimbabwe!
You can submit your own prayers to Zimbabwe by either leaving a comment on any one of our posts or you can submit the prayer through our online contact form. We must respond with the energy of prayer to all that is happening in Zimbabwe! So submit those prayers and watch how God’s will comes to life before your very eyes!
I had the honor of travelling to Zimbabwe in November of 2008. I was allowed to talk and work with the leaders of this great country on how to build healthy relationships. Who knew a marriage and family guy would ever get to travel to Zimbabwe to teach and train pastors, leaders, and individuals on how to have better relationships! This is my prayer for Zim:
Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that you first forgive me of my sins. Forgive me of my intolerance and indifference. Lord I ask in the name of Jesus that you bring healing and restoration to Zimbabwe’s wounded heart. Lord, I know that you are in charge of Zimbabwe and I ask you to bless their land and each and ever person living on it. I ask that You bring someone in to the life of Robert Mugabe who can challenge him to put you first and to repent of his sinful actions. Allow the suffering and the pain of this great land to begin a firestorm of revival! Thank You for loving Zimbabwe and I ask that you reveal your will in how Zimbabwe will be restored and renewed. Amen.
