We began our trip out to our next pastors conference in "the bush" with great joy as deep green fields and trees adorned the roadsides. Even the mountains were colored with life and growth. Occasional dark clouds overhead did nothing to “dampen” our mood. They merely held the promise of even more rain from our faithful Father. We turned up the volume of our praise music and sang our way into the mountains, giving glory to the Most High God, Creator and Sustainer of heaven and earth!
Rainfall softens the hard ground allowing them finally to plow, work the ground, and plant. What a wonderful backdrop for AIM's teaching about our covenant God Who responds to the prayers and repentance of His people, providing for their needs and directing them in His ways.
Even in the valleys, we saw evidence of the expected good crops due to sustaining rainfall. The village of Magugu is widely known throughout Tanzania for their good quality rice. The mood in the village has been very positive because this is an active time of year for the farmers.
