We arrived on the Eyre Peninsula two weeks ago to do a series of concerts, shed nights and church services.. and to pray with local communities for much needed rain. We joined in agreement with many churches across the region who had faithfully been praying for a change in the weather conditions. Amazingly it has been raining ever since!! The entire region has been covered with a good soaking and farmers can confidently begin to plan out their season. Farming is always a combination of faith, wise choices and risk. There are no guarantees in this world and every family on the land knows the costs. We ask you to pray for our primary producers throughout Australia. There has been drought in Western Australia and outback Queensland farmers and graziers are still struggling to get going after years of dry. 

Whether it is wheat, barley, beans, canola, chick peas, lentils, lucerne, hay, watermelons, vegetables or livestock we pray our farmers put their trust in God our provider and live lives that honour Him. We are grateful for the rural communities of Australia that work hard to feed the world.
