      AUTHOR

      CHAPTER ONE

      WE BELIEVE IN THE HARVEST

      Some places aren’t supposed to teem with life. Some places are just too dry.

      The Sahel is more than four thousand miles wide and lies just below the Sahara Desert. During May, June, July, and August, twelve months worth of rain will fall and the remaining eight months will be arid and difficult, even deadly. Eight months without rain can have a profound effect on life. Cracks creep across the desert floor. Eyes burn from the dust kicked up thousands of feet in the air by the hot winds. Mirages become commonplace on the horizon. Humans and animals alike crave a drop of water, a bite of food. One wonders how long this area can sustain life.

      Del Tarr, a missionary who served fourteen years in West Africa, observed this place firsthand. He knew the dry and dusty roads too well. He recalls how a four-month rainy season meant that farmers grew, harvested, and rationed a year’s worth of food in a few short months. Sorghum and milo are two of the major products grown in this remote area of Africa.

      Del recalls how the months of October and November were filled with celebration, singing, and dancing. The season of harvest had arrived, and the granaries were filled with food. In the villages, each adult and child enjoyed a luxurious two meals a day. Using ancient stones to grind the grain into flour, the villagers lived off of food consistent with what Del describes as yesterday’s cream of wheat. He goes on to say, The sticky mush is eaten hot; they roll it into little balls between their fingers, drop it into a bit of sauce and then pop it into their mouths. The meal lies heavy on their stomachs so they can sleep.

      With December the villagers know that the luxury of two meals a day will soon come to an end. Grain begins to run low, and families skip breakfast to conserve food. January doesn’t bring new hope because, as Tarr explains, Not one family in fifty is still eating two meals a day.

      In February, the one evening meal enjoyed and relished by everyone grows smaller and smaller. In March, many of the children become sick as their immune systems are weakened from malnourishment and hunger. One half of a meal a day just isn’t enough.

      Here is how Del Tarr graphically described the plight of these people to me:

      April is the month that haunts my memory. You hear the babies crying in the twilight. They pass most days with only an evening cup of gruel.

      Then, inevitably, it happens. One day a six- or seven-year-old boy comes running to his father, bursting with excitement. Daddy! Daddy! We’ve got grain! he shouts.

      The father calms him down and replies, Son, you know we haven’t had grain for weeks.

      Yes, we have! the boy insists. Out in the hut where we keep the goats I found a leather sack hanging up on the wall. When I put my hand inside the sack I felt the grain. There’s grain in the sack! Give it to Mommy so she can make flour, and tonight our tummies can sleep!

      The father stands motionless.

      Son, we can’t do that, he gently explains. The seeds in that sack are next year’s seed grain. Those seeds are the only thing between us and starvation. We’re keeping the grain until the rains come again. Then we’ll plant it.

      The rains finally arrive in May, and when they do the young boy watches his father take the sack from the wall and do the most unreasonable thing imaginable. Instead of feeding his desperately weakened family, he walks to the field and with tears streaming down his face he takes the precious seed and scatters it in the soil. Why? Because he believes in the harvest.

      The dad was willing to plant his most precious seed because he believed in the importance of the harvest. One of my favorite names used in Scripture for Jesus is a root out of dry ground (Isaiah 53:2, NKJV). It’s interesting to me that when planting His Son in the world, God chose an environment and landscape similar to the Sahel: a place where life isn’t supposed to grow and the cries of hungry children fill the night air. That’s where God planted the Savior. Jesus breathes life over the dead places. He causes things to grow when they aren’t supposed to. Why? Because to Him, things aren’t necessarily dead; they’re merely dormant. This is what Moses experienced in another desert.

      A young Hebrew child, Moses was supposed to die. Pharaoh issued the edict for the murder of the innocents, and soldiers killed the children. It was God’s providence that Moses, discovered by Pharaoh’s daughter on the banks of the river, would grow up in the palace of the leader who had issued the order for his death. Moses became accustomed to the ways of royalty during a time when Egypt enslaved the Hebrews for over four hundred years. Ironically, Moses was the only Hebrew in the land who understood how royalty lived.

      At the age of forty, Moses murdered an Egyptian and someone discovered his crime. In order to save his own life, he fled the luxury and pomp and circumstance in Egypt and vanished into the Sinai Peninsula. For forty years, Moses tended sheep under the hot sun. He married and began a family. The past he had tried to bury in the sand became a fading memory.

      At the age of eighty, on a day like all other days, Moses watched the sun come up over the great Horeb range of mountains. The shadow from Mount Horeb brought relief from the heat as the desert winds churned up dust like the dry soil of the African Sahel. On that day, as Moses walked past a bush, he noticed something that forever altered his understanding of God and changed the way the next generation would
