Barry and Heather Mann work with Growing Nations, an organisation based in Maphutseng, Lesotho, which shares God’s love through a focus on agricultural knowledge and training. Barry also serves as AIM International’s Crisis Consultant. Praise God that after 2 years of drought and poor crops, good spring rains have fallen across Lesotho, even in Maphutseng, the home of Growing Nations. The fields and vegetable garden have been prepared, seeds have been planted and have germinated, which is fantastic. Ask the Lord for the right amount of rain to continue throughout the season, with no damaging hail, to enable Growing Nations to be a showcase of Conservation Agriculture in Lesotho and to allow it to continue transforming lives both physically, through better harvests, and spiritually, through an increased knowledge of God’s love for each person who interacts with Growing Nations. Please also pray that Farming Quest 2026, a 2-week course to equip missionaries & church workers in Farming God’s Way, will proceed as planned from January 24–February 6, 2026. This is a great opportunity for people to come to Growing Nations and learn how agriculture can be used to share the gospel message in their ministry settings.
