RAIN PRAYER

1. We know how good this land can be,
we’ve seen what it can grow
when rain has fallen as it can
and all the rivers flow.

2. But when the clouds refuse to break
for days & months & years
the land becomes a barren place
and hope, it disappears.

O hear our prayer,
we know you care.
Hear us today and always.(repeat)

3. O God, you fashion every hill,
you flatten every plain.
You must have heard the crying ground,
come down and make it rain.

O hear our prayer,
we know you care.
Hear us today and always. (repeat)

4. Why don’t you tear the sky apart
— you know our desperate plight?
You hear the cries, you see the tears,
O come and set things right.

ALWS 5/10/23

To say I've been inactive on my website is a serious understatement! I've written nothing here since early 2021. 

So, does this mean the world has stopped for us, that nothing is happening?
A major event for us in 2022 was moving house in October. We had been in Modbury Heights since July 1993.Now we're back in Klemzig.

In May we travelled to the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia, seeing work supported by Australian Lutheran World Service. Dorothy and I are Ambassadors for the ALWS programme, Lives You Touch. We are encouraging people to leave money in their will for the work of ALWS. We committed to leave a third of our will many years ago and hope many others can touch lives in this way.
Since then we have visited Box Hill & Loxton with Jonathan & Julie Krause as part of the Asante presentations, promoting the cause of ALWS. Still to come this year are Asante events in Toowoomba & Rochedale (Nov 26 & 27) and Perth (Dec 10)

Looking forward to seeing many people on these occasions.
