Pray for Rain

This area of Ethiopia is known for having fertile soil. Right now mangoes, papaya, tomatoes, sugar cane, bananas, cabbage and corn are among foods available. This is the time for the short rains and they have not come.  The past week we have had clouds and overcast skies.  The fields are plowed and ready for planting. Root crops like yams and sweet potatoes (as seen in the photo) are planted, but will dry up without soon rain.  Please join with us in praying for the right amount of rain to come soon. If it does not come now, food will be scarce until the big rains starting in June produce crops.  --  Nancy Bulcha
