Drought Relief

All over the world the weather patterns are changing.   In some places this does not create too much of a hardship, but for countries who depend solely on the seasonal rains coming at just the right time to produce a harvest, these changing weather patterns have been devastating.  This has been one more year in a string of years where the rains did not come in time to save the corn crops.   Thanks to Parkview Baptist Church of Baton Rouge Louisiana who took up a challenge offering in honor of former missionary to Zimbabwe, Dr. Wana Ann Fort, we have been able to supply 22 tons of corn meal throughout Zimbabwe to Baptists in the worst hit areas.  Pictured below are the grateful recipients of one delivery of food relief in the Mberengwa area in south central Zimbabwe.

In Zimbabwe, people clap their hands to say thank you.   Here you see this grateful Grandmother expressing her deep gratitude.

 After the food was distributed, the next challenge was to get it home.  Various modes of transport were used. . .

Thank you Parkview Baptist Church.
