Mbonisi Malaba praying for rain
1. Nyathi: God is doing wonders. There was rain in the beginning but we don’t have any rain now. The crops are small but because of Foundations for Farming, the crops are growing. It seems to be raining in other areas but not by us but we continue to trust God that it will come.
2. Esigodini: Our area has no rain. We have done good farming – what we have been taught. Although there is a lot of heat, our crops are still green and they are knee high. Our area is dry with a little rain. We are trusting God with our crops. Other people are asking us how we do it.
3. Masvingo urban – Mushandike to Chivi: It rained in November 2009. In December we had scattered rains. Our crops are green and knee high too. We have worked hard and are weeding our fields. We thank God that we have a crop.
4. Mbalabala: God is wonderful. We are doing exactly what we have learnt from here. There is hope with what we have done. Our crops are knee high and are looking wonderful. We are trusting the Lord and doing His work faithfully. As we mulch, we know we will get a little harvest. Those that are not in OTC will get nothing.
5. Gwanda - Beitbridge: We thank God for His love. There is no rain in our area and we received our seed late (8 December) With the little rain that has come, we planted the seed and hoped it would rain again. People are seeing that the rains are not coming. Some want to give up but our HOPE is still there.
6. Silobela: We thank God for what is happening. There are no rains but God is working wonders. All those on OTC are not going backwards. There is hope. Our crops are shoulder high. We thank God that those who trust Him will not be moved.

Mbonisi also encouraged the farmers saying that although we are going through challenges, others are also going through it. We are in this together.
We all then stood up and prayed for rain.
