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."
