NEEDING RAIN


I recently went out to one of my friend’s field and was shocked at how dry and barren it was compared to previous trips.  It has been unbearably hot and dry these last 2 months.  It hasn’t really rained since Christmas and the local farmers are hurting.  The soy plants have been turned into animal food instead of sold for crop.  The corn, sweet potatoes, and beans are all dried up.  My friends talk of watering holes drying up and of killing cows because there is not enough water to sustain their herd.  We are praying for rain.
