President of Zambia dies

President Levi Mwanawasa of Zambia died today in Paris as the result of a stroke he suffered at the end of June. President Mwanawasa was in Egypt at the time he had the stroke, was stabilized there and then flown to Paris for treatment. His illness has brought the nation together spiritually as seen in the many prayer meetings being held all across the country. Please pray for his wife, the First Lady, Mrs. Maureen Mwanawasa, their children and the extended family. Also pray for the people of Zambia who have lost not only a great leader but a great man, a man who loved the Lord and sought his will in everything he did. Zambia will be observing a seven-day period of mourning beginning today.
