Flooding in the Philippines

Here is an eyewitness account by a member of our mission organization of what is going on in the Philippines and what we can do:

URGENT NEED: $50,000

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble…we will not fear.”

Please allow me to share this Urgent and important news/prayer item.

Due to the recent effect of typhoon in the last week until today (Ondoy-Ketsana and Pepeng), there’s more rain and massive flooding in National Capital Region, Central and North Luzon, all roads to the North have been shut down last night, all water dams opened due to excessive rain, 12 major bridges destroyed (Pangasinan and roads to Baguio), landslides, and major power interruptions and many cities are isolated right now including Baguio City (158 dead, 57 missing just last night), 52 evacuation centers opened for thousands of homeless victims.

…we have not stopped with relief distribution in Metro Manila and 2 provinces but we are gearing up to respond to 8 more provinces in the north.
…the need is rising everyday.

…Plans for our scheduled biennial national assembly on October 14–17 scheduled in Baguio City have been changed. Our new location is Greenhills Christian Fellowship, Ortigas, Pasig City, Metro Manila. Pray for wisdom and strength as 550 pastors and leaders on the way to Manila starting tomorrow. We will spend more time for praying and fasting for God to heal our land.

Please pray for me and my family including my staff working day and night now, with some sleepless nights due to emergency calls in the middle of the night. Pray for God’s provisions as we face these urgent giant challenges.

Thank you for praying and listening.

In Christ,
WorldVenture worker
