Pray for Rain

The Kenyan government has declared the country in a state of famine - there is a drought and therefore staple crops are not able to grow.

We have told our friends there, our brothers and sisters in Christ, that we will join them in praying that the Lord will send rain. Will you please join us in praying that the Lord would send rain...

James 5
13Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

17Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.


Farmland in Kenya that is ready and waiting for the rain

Excerpt from an email from a Kenyan pastor:
We are praying for rains to start before we plant corn and beans though we have already bought seeds. Pray with us because we don't see any sign of rains, farmers are now wondering what next. With the famine we are experiencing in Kenya, unless God does a miracle many will suffer.
