A San Marcos pastor is calling on Christians from around the state to join Texas lawmakers in praying for rain.
Jeff Latham, pastor of Westover Baptist Church in San Marcos, is organizing an hour of prayer and fasting at 12 noon, April 6, on the south steps and lawn of the Texas Capitol.
“Bring your umbrella with you,” Latham said in invitations to the prayer rally.
Sen. Jeff Westworth, R-San Antonio, is providing official sponsorship of the event on the Capitol grounds.
“We are experiencing drought, and our farmers and ranchers are hurting,” Latham said.
Pastor from throughout Central Texas will lead in prayer—not only for rain and drought relief for farmers and ranchers, but also for the economy and for Texans still recovering from hurricane damage. Pastors also will offer prayers for firefighters, law officers, military personnel, schoolteachers, parents and elected officials.
