Philippines Urgent Prayer Need:

Please pray for those in the Philippines. Here is an update from one of our missionaries. "Manila is again in the middle of a huge flood. As much as half the city is under water. 1,000,000 people may have flooded homes. The volume of water is higher than Super-typhoon Ondoy in 2009. We have had three typhoons/tropical depressions in succession and three weeks of continuous rain. Most banks, government offices, and schools have been closed for days. There have been about 100 people killed. We hope the waters have peaked now but it continues to rain. At least two more days of rain are expected as the cyclone heads north. Many of our church members' homes are under water again." 

If you or your church would like to donate you can do so by visiting here: Donate Online 

Or you can send a check or money order to IDES (Disaster)
PO BOX 60
Kempton, IN 46049-0060


We also got word from two more missionaries that they are needing additional funding to take care of the people's needs. They have turned to IDES for help. In fact one said, "The Philippines had the greatest number of natural disasters of any country in the world last year." Please keep praying for the people and missionaries in the Philippines an that the rains will stop.
