They have been waiting and praying for years. Holding on to hope. Trusting God. Some day, maybe, ….they held on to faith. God is a loving provider. He is all powerful. He can do it. Finally, the day arrived! The day they hoped for, prayed for ….. the day they get a Bible! Getting up off of the floor where they sleep in their home, they get ready for church. They put on the best of their two sets of clothes, if they are fortunate enough to have that much. The walk to church goes fast. So much to praise God for today! At church you can feel the excitement in the air. It is time! The stack of Bibles is right there! They line up and one by one, the Bible is handed to them. They stop and wait for a picture to be taken. The Bible, right in their hands! The feel of it. The smell of it. Oh! Praise God! They get to take home their very own Bible, the word of God, their faithful God! Thank you, sweet Jesus! With a sheet for a roof, it gets very dusty in their home, especially when they are making the bricks daily not far from their homes. Every day they dust off of their Bible. Oh! If they just had a tissue or napkin like the rich to clean it off with! They take damp, clean cloth and carefully, lovingly dust off of their very own Bible; God’s holy, personal gift to them. This is a gift to be treasured for the rest of their lives.

goWith the scope of the devastation from Super Typhoon Mangkhut, locally known as Super Typhoon Ompong, it will take some time before help can get to many of the remote villages. When a Hurricane hits here in the United States, many organizations rush to help within days. In less than two weeks 97% of the people in the Carolinas have their power restored. Aid is pouring in from all over.
Not so in other areas of the world. It could take weeks before help arrives. In a mountain area where the typhoon hit there is a village of 60-70 families. All of their crops were destroyed. The storm blew the roofs off some of the homes. Some people lost all their food. Others had enough for a day or two.
We would like send aide in the form of money for food. Our Prayer Partner lives near a city but goes to church in this village on the mountain. As the Lord blesses, we would like to send an offering to help them until the aid reaches them. We cannot do this alone! We need your help. Please consider giving.
You can give through PayPal or by mail. Please specify Philippine Aid.

Devastation to crops from Super Typhoon Mangkhut /Ompong

CNN called Typhoon Mangkhut the world’s strongest storm on earth this year. In the Philippines they called it Super Typhoon Ompong. Washington Post claimed it to be “four times as intense as Hurricane Florence.” It had sustained winds of more than 165 mph at its core with gusts of 200 mph. “In gusts as powerful as those within Mangkhut, a Boeing 737 could lift off the ground without even igniting its twin engines,” wrote Washington Post. They also wrote, “Many mountain communities … could see two to three feet of rain. Flooding may result in landslides that could isolate remote communities, if not wipe them out.”
One of our faithful Prayer Partners lives in the Philippines. While Hurricane Florence as a Category 2 was hitting the United States, Super Typhoon Mangkhut as a Category 4/5 was hitting the Philippines.
As the storm was hitting, our Prayer Partner posted this: “Very strong winds and heavy rains. our Province was directly hit by the typhoon. We are signal number 4 .. please keep praying for us. Some rooftop now taken by the strong winds. And some of my relatives are now in our House. Lord Jesus keep us Safe. In Jesus name.”
We kept them in constant prayer as we waited to hear from her. Around midnight our time, we got a message from her saying that the winds were still strong and it rains, we are OK. God is good.
Finally, at around 8:30 in the morning we got the news! “Hello Sis the storms is over now. Praise God we are safe. We have damages (to) our Fruits crop like banana and other more are damage but we are still praising God we are Alive we have no electricity now …. There is no damage Sis God hold our house … Some of their (the neighbor’s) roofs taken by the wind some don’t have food now because relief goods is not coming”
Praise God!! He put his hand of protection over her home. When others lost their roofs, her house did not receive any damage! Later we learned that the church remained intact also. People evacuated to the church during the storm. God surely protected them through this massive storm!! Praise God! Alleluia!
