End the Drought

Gravel crunched beneath our tires as we ascended the mountain road. We pulled over behind Pastor Ailton, stretching as we exited the cars, and joined him at cliff's edge to drink in the serenity of the scene below. What appeared to us as exquisite is at this moment tragic, because of a severe drought. The local dam is closed for a couple of days each week, meaning the towns below have no running water. (The B4P Brazil team experienced "no water" days last year in this area.) The fish that townspeople depend on for their livelihood are dying because of the lack. The boat that ferries Pastor to serve people on a distant island can't navigate the shallow waters. We prayed Ezekiel 47 over the scene, rising waters and supernatural provision. Would you join us by calling in the clouds and commanding beneficial rain to fall in this region, at least for the next week while we are in Brazil on mission?
