Barry and Heather work with Growing Nations in Maphutseng, Lesotho. On 1st April the price of fuel, fixed by the government, increased significantly; petrol went up 26% and diesel and paraffin both went up 60% overnight! There is a 15% increase in taxi fares on the way, and food prices will inevitably follow, as farmers and retailers pass on increased fertiliser, fuel and transport costs. Many rely on paraffin for heating and cooking too, so that will have a massive impact on people, particularly as the country heads into winter. In Lesotho, a country with already high unemployment and dependant on importing most of its food, the impact of the war will hit hard. The work of Growing Nations, helping people to grow more of their own food, is more important now than ever. Please join them in praying for peace, reconciliation and restoration in the Middle East and in the many other often forgotten places in Africa and beyond, where sadly war is a daily part of life. Pray too that Growing Nations’ voice will be heard, accepted and adopted by those around them who are resistant to change.
