Providing Aid to Survivors in Philippines

Becky and I have been in contact with one of our pastors in the Philippines impacted by the typhoon that has devastated that area.

"We were very busy for serving 300+ Manila flood victims who evacuate in our campus. 1000$ cost of food and materials had been distributed. We will distribute 800$ cost foods and school used to 200 families tomorrow. Please Pray for us.... 300+ died already." ~ Rev. Thang

himself and his neighbours after their
house were hit by floodwaters caused by
continous rains brought by Typhoon Parma
in Baguio City, north of Manila October
4, 2009. A powerful typhoon slowly moved
out to sea on Sunday after slamming into
the remote northeastern Philippines and
killing 17 people, but damage and
flooding, while extensive, were less
widespread than feared. Typhoon Parma,
the strongest typhoon to hit the country
since 2006, was north of the main Luzon
island and was moving northwest very
slowly, the weather bureau said. REUTERS/

Typhoon Ketsana, known locally as Ondoy,
hit, during a clean-up operation in
Pasig, Metro Manila October 3, 2009. A
powerful typhoon slammed into the
northeastern tip of the Philippines on
Saturday, tearing roofs off houses and
uprooting trees, but there were no
immediate reports of casualties.
Officials said Typhoon Parma, the
strongest typhoon to hit the country
since 2006, may not be as destructive as
feared since it had made landfall in the
sparsely-populated Cagayan province and
would weaken over land. REUTERS/Cheryl

from a pile of garbage gathered at the
bay in Manila, October 3, 2009, brought
by Typhoon Parma. A powerful typhoon
bearing down on the Philippines may not
be as destructive as feared since it has
changed course and should only clip the
far north of the archipelago later on
Saturday, officials said. Typhoon Parma,
centred about 120 km (75 miles) east of
the main island of Luzon and moving
northwest at 17 km per hour, brought
rain and strong winds to the Philippines'
eastern seaboard, but there were no
reports of casualties. REUTERS/Romeo

I am raising funds this week to help as many disaster survivors that we can in Indonesia, Philippines and Samoa and show them the love of Christ. With three major disasters occurring in the same week, we need the help of as many generous and compassionate people as possible at this time.

Know that you are loved,

You are so kind Father Greg. Your effort is really priceless. I am a Filipino and felt sad seeing those affected family especially the children. May God Bless us all. ___________________ <a href="http://www.ketsanarelief.com">Ketsana Donation</a>
