Harvest is a time for giving thanks to God for His provision - even for those of us who live in large cities and are far removed from the agricultural process. Whether we grow our food in the garden, work on a farm, or buy it in the supermarket ultimately God is responsible for the food on our plates.
But image you live in a war zone and although you planted crops last spring you can't harvest them because your fields are either covered in land mines or cluster bombs. What are you going to do?
BMS World Mission work in many parts of the world in conflict or post conflict zones, working to plant seeds of hope. One way of doing this in places where people have had their land contaminated is to identify alternative places to grow crops. The trouble is that these safer areas are often harder to farm due to poor soil quality or no access to water. But with the help of BMS World Mission these problems can be overcome, allowing families to plant and harvest.
We had the opportunity this Sunday to pray for the work of BMS World Mission and also to provide financially to the important work they are doing throughout the world. If you want to know more visit www.bms.org.uk
