 The
extended drought plaguing huge sections of western North and South
Dakota is bringing many farm and ranch families to the brink of
financial and emotional disaster.
All across the Dakotas crops
have been devastated by drought. Ranchers are selling off herds of
cattle because they won’t be able to feed them this winter. Other cattle
herds have fallen victim to heat-related illness and illness resulting
from bad water. Hundreds of miles of fence have come down as a result of
wildfires.
There are many
needs developing as a result of this prolonged drought. The greatest
need is for earnest prayer – prayer for families affected by the
drought, prayer for relief from the drought, prayer for resources to
combat the drought.
The Presbytery
is also building a data base of people who are willing to help combat
this crisis and what particular gifts and services they are able to
offer. Contact Laurie Elhard,
Communication Coordinator and she will enter what you are able to
offer to the data base. |
