OTC Field Visit pt 1




Weeds amongst the crop


I went early one morning with Mbekezele Moyo and Jen te Velde to visit some of the OTC farmers. Some fields were really encouraging while others need prayer. Some of the problems being faced are not much rainfall, poor soil, too much weeds, poor germination, aphids, baboons and monkeys eating the crop.

However, the faith levels of the farmers are still high as they expect to reap a harvest and continue to work diligently in their fields. It was wonderful being welcomed at the various homes and to pray a blessing at each home before we left.
