If you had $1 million, what would you do?
What if you had more?
If you had as much money as you wanted, what would you do with that money?
When Roy and I first moved to Melbourne in 2012, we walked through the streets of Melbourne CBD and looked up at the buildings and dreamed – wouldn’t it be incredible, we said, if one day we could point to all the buildings in the CBD where we knew there was a bible study taking place, a prayer meeting being held, or a person being encouraged through our ministries?

But for farmers? Rain is an answer to prayer. It’s desperately needed for crops, livestocks, and livelihoods. Aussie farmers are anxiously watching the skies waiting for rain to come now.
