The bill would give the government power to control all foreign aid and humanitarian work, especially if the government deems that it would challenge the governments positions on human rights and democratic governance. The bill could seriously affect ministries such as Operation Mobilization (OM) which works with local churches and among the Tonga, Zimbabwes least-reached people group. Members of the OM team in Zimbabwe are now in South Africa, awaiting their appeal for work permits.From the news flow at Intercessors Network
