Let
me share a story about a small congregation of Dong people that is
north of here.
These
people grow rice as their primary crop. This is what they live
on for the year and without the rice crop people would starve.
Recently, the rice crops just outside of this small village got some
sort of infection so that people were losing up to 50% of their
crops.
Losing
this much sets the stage for a famine if not remedied. While most
villagers were losing crops, the Christians of this village weren't.
Their rice crops were growing rapidly and were healthy. I have
be told that the other villagers were asking them why and commenting
that "your god is very powerful."
- Pray
that these Christians can continue to trust God and that God
will continue to show his hand in their lives.
- Pray
that God's work would be obvious to the non-believers around
them and that they would be bold to ask questions and that the
Holy Spirit would speak through these believers to bring more
people into the Kingdom of God.
