CPM: Let It Rain

“If only we could have rain for our crops then my people would not suffer  common hunger pangs,” Ibu Lurah (county leader) expressed. After a stick fighting exhibition in this Muslim woman’s local area, she declared her shepherding heart for the aches of a drought ridden region of SaSumBi.  Our short term Luke 10 team postured themselves to listen to what the Father would reveal regarding breakthroughs needed. 

We also asked the Lord to lead us to Persons of Peace, those who are spiritually seeking and would open their households to His message. The men in the group walked through the rice barns in the community while the gals in our group came alongside the women. The quick tour of their community exposed the unique challenges physically. 

At this point, I felt prompted to ask the Lurah’s wife if we could pray over their area in the name of Isa Al Masih? We had already identified ourselves as His followers in the beginning of our time with these women. They readily received these prayers as we offered in the matchless Name of Jesus that He would bring the rain, as well as bring His reign. I offered stories from the Taurat, Zabur, and Injil for our next meeting and asked them to gather their households when we return. Lord, let it rain. Let is reign.
