We’ve been praying for—and been the subject of
prayers from—the gardening group at the North Ringwood Uniting Church in Melbourne,
Australia since last December.
Their garden ministry with the same mission as
ours—growing produce for the hungry.
We
heard from them last week. They are approaching the end of a good growing
season. Their summer crops are done and they are now ready to harvest broccoli,
cabbages, cauliflower, onions, silverbeets, potatoes, and pumpkins.
They
pass on the following prayer requests:
“We
would appreciate prayer for the workers in our garden. We are all over 60
years of age and time and energy can be a problem. We also need patience
and tolerance as we work with the intellectually disabled group that come to
our garden.
I
would also appreciate prayer as I am speaking at our church, as part of a
series where we are exploring the local missions and ministries that we are
involved in. The idea is to brainstorm
any fresh expressions that we can bring to our ministries.”
This mutual prayer
support works.
They have had a very good year as we prayed for them, and their prayers that we
get the resources we need have certainly been answered (think about the seeds,
tiller, refrigerator, and the national Scotts grant that have come our way recently).
God has blessed both them and us through our mutual prayers, so let’s
keep it up!
