It may be Ramadan, but there is still a lot of work to do. The fields do not plant themselves. I have lived in this area for 55 years. My parents and grandparents worked this land before me. We have a mosque not far from the fields. I go as often as I can. I don’t understand the Arabic prayers or much of what the imam teaches. I am just doing what my ancestors have always done. We are Muslims, so we go to the mosque. We fast during Ramadan. We give to help the poor. This is the only way for me.

Prayer Request

• Pray that Hui who are following the religion of their ancestors will encounter Jesus.
