Kernels of Hope ... our farming initiative that connects farmers in Canada with non farmer supporters to help people in need in countries like Ethiopia through Tearfund Canada and the Canadian FoodGrains Bank has a lot of its crops harvested so far this year....
Gerald and Darla ( The Van B's ) of the Melfort Covenant Church have been long time Kernels growers and this recent note and pictures from them make my heart smile !
"We got our 50 acres of wheat off Friday night! It yielded about 55bu/ac
As you can seeing the clouds were looming but we escaped the rain. " Darla & Gerald
Please pray for the real Canadian farmers we are connected with through all of our Covenant Churches... Wet weather since mid August has caused delays and incredible stress for all prairie farmers allowing most to just pick away at harvest on the one day in a week that it gets barely dry enough and then came the snow !
If we are stressed in Canada think and pray about those people in Ethiopia that have far less ability to battle the weather than we do !
At this time I just ask that we all come along side farmers in both countries in support through your prayers... We have just come through the Thanksgiving season that reminded us that have been so Blessed and that we are Blessed to Bless others...
After the feasting of Thanksgiving comes World Food Day (October 16th), a time set aside to remember and pray for the more than 821 million people around the world who do not know where their next meal is coming from.
