The following is a follow-up letter from the pastor in Zimbabwe who wrote to WORLD readers in the July 12, 2008, issue ("Lord, how long will I call and you will not answer?"). He has asked to remain unidentified for security reasons.

Dear Friends,

Warm greetings again from Zimbabwe, where the overcast weather outside is a visible token of the goodness of God in supplying so far a wonderful rainy season in a year where, due to the national collapse, poor rains or excessive rains would have sounded the death knell for many in our land. In a sense, this epitomizes our situation at the moment, in such dire straits, and yet regularly, here and there, little reminders of the Lord's faithfulness and goodness.
