Where is the rain…

It has only rained once since we arrived here in Jos. The weather seems much hotter and less rainy than past trips. Everyone feels it. The other day riding with Amos he spoke about his cousins who will be coming to him in Jos from the country. The reason… all the crops they planted this spring have died for lack of rain and they apparently have no where else to turn.

Rain where have you gone? Rain when will you come. The earth is hard and parched. And the rains are important not only for crops, but also to raise the level of the water table so that there is water to last the dry season.

Join me in praying for rain!

PS I didn’t get this posted until Wednesday and yesterday about 3:30 the skies darkened and a downpour erupted. Yes it made it hard to teach, Yes it delayed my ride home by 2 hours, Yes it made traffic a nightmare… but ahhh it was rain, much needed and welcomed rain. Please pray for more rain, regular doses of life-giving rain.
