What to do when the rain won’t come? If you’re Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, you pray.
\nThe governor will host a prayer service next week to ask for relief from the drought gripping the Southeast.
\n“The only solution is rain, and the only place we get that is from a higher power,” Perdue spokesman Bert Brantley said on Wednesday.
\nPerdue’s office has sent out invitations to leaders from several faiths for the service, set for Tuesday.
