Prayers sought for rain in northern Namibia

Good morning, all

I volunteer with the ELCA with Lutheran churches in Namibia. This morning, I received an email from a friend, the Rev. Ezron Kapolo, asking for prayer for rain. The churches, hospitals, schools and inhabitants - many subsistence farmers in the bush - are enduring a severe drought in this driest time of year. Livelihoods and lives are at stake. Please pray with me for rain.

Thank you,

Rachel

Combined Bethany/Eagle Harbor devotional coming

Hi everyone,

Today, I'm compiling devotions submitted by people from Bethany and Eagle Harbor Congregational Church into a Lenten devotional. I'll post it here on the Bethany website in the coming few days. It's really, really good, and contains not only our own letters to God, but historical letters, poetry and Scripture readings. And can you believe I get paid to do this?
