Showers ofShowers of

BlessingsBlessings

When it rains, most people go inside to avoid getting wet. But I remember

a summer day in Texas when people ran outside their offices and homes to

stand in a downpour. Some shouted, others danced, and everyone was

happy. After months of scorching temperatures and crippling drought, the

sheer joy of a life-giving rain made getting soaked a pleasure.

Just as a physical drought teaches us that there is no substitute for rain, a

time of spiritual dryness burns into us the truth that we cannot live without

God’s renewing Spirit. Hymn writer Daniel W. Whittle expressed his

longing for spiritual revival in these words: “Showers of blessing, showers

of blessing we need; mercy drops round us are falling, but for the showers

we plead.”

During times of spiritual dryness, when we long for a sense of the

presence and power of God, we echo the psalmist’s prayer: “Wilt thou not

revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? Shew us thy mercy,

O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. ” (Psalm 85:6-7).

The spiritual refreshing we crave comes only from above. Christ alone can

satisfy our spiritual thirst with the “living water” He promised to all who

come to Him (John 4:14). —DCM

I reached for God' s hand I reached for God' s hand

full of blessings,full of blessings,

Because I was needy and sad;Because I was needy and sad;

And, oh, what a shower He gave meAnd, oh, what a shower He gave me

From all the rich treasure He had!From all the rich treasure He had! ——SimonSimon

Only Christ the living water can quench our spiritual thirst.

Missionary To Cameroon

. We are the Benson Family Missionaries to Cameroon, West Africa. The

Lord used Missionary Nathan Owens to show us the need for Missionar-

ies in Cameroon. After viewing his presentation, we began praying and

asking God, "What would you have us to do?" After many weeks of

prayer, Bible study, and Godly counsel, the Lord confirmed it was His

will for us to go. We began deputation in January of 2012, and are look-

ing to arrive on the field January of 2014. The Lord has blessed in many

ways while on deputation. He gave us 20,000 Bibles which we will take

to the field with us, and use in the ministry in Cameroon. We are really

looking forward to going as soon as possible. Please take time to view

our website, and read our current prayer letter.
