We received an email from Pastor Rene and Rosie in the Philippines this morning. They've been having flash floodings some as high as 10 feet. Prayer is needed for clean water, protection from diseases, and for those who have lost loved ones or homes. We are so blessed here in Canada, I don't know if we've ever had anything like that happen here. We've had floods, like the Red River, but nothing like Tropical Storm Ketsana.
About five or six days ago in the Philippines, Tropical Storm Ketsana hit... here's a good article with a video attached to an idea of what the storms and flooding is really like: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8277018.stm.
We have sent one team before to help Pastor Rene and Rosie and their community - in times like this I wish we had a team on a plane that could bring some relief.
But thankfully we serve a God who is omni-present, and while I am trying to spread the word here to get people praying, God is already there, moving on their behalf.
I love the words in 2 Chronicles 16:9 - For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in behalf of those whose hearts are blameless toward Him.
That's His promise to us who love and fear Him, who's hearts are blameless toward Him.
He's showing Himself strong all over the earth, when we see it, and when we don't. When they're reporters, and when there aren't any.
Thanks for praying.
