Philippines - Flood Relief Efforts
M"I needed to make a decision: keep holding on to my two kids or let go of one so I can rescue my third child."
-A lament from a victim of massive flash floods in southern Philippines on Dec 17. The victims are still grieving for their losses: houses, properties, livelihoods and even loved ones. Some people are still missing.
Through
the creation of the Philippine Flood Relief Project, SIM
Philippines is one of God's channels to help bring hope to the flood
victims. We are involved in giving relief in the form of
food, kitchen utensils, medicines and school supplies. We are helping
approximately 700 students most of whom are from the ethnic group we
are trying to reach here in the Philippines.
"The work is huge. Many people need help. In the coming months we'll assist through medical missions, providing school supplies and with housing projects for the homeless. Some of us were trained in disaster counseling to effectively listen and sympathize with the grieving victims. May those in need see Christ in us."
Cheques can be made to SIM East Asia Ltd. Include 'Project No 98384' on the back.You may also call us at 6298 3611 for information about online transfers.
Kenya Emergency Relief
More
than 10 million people are facing starvation in the East African
nations of Kenya, Somalia, Djibouti and Ethiopia. Drought is the
primary cause. SIM Kenya's emergency relief project will help direct
funds to those with greatest needs during this crisis. Funds will be
channelled to local church and ministry partners of SIM Kenya and will
strategically assist with food, water and medicine.
Financial donations will help SIM to be the hands of Christ during this time of tragedy. Cheques can be made to SIM East Asia Ltd. Include 'Project No 92601' on the back.You may also call us for information about online transfers.
Please pray for:
-children too weak to run and play-local churches stepping into the crisis with courage and sacrifice
-for governments to fulfil their responsibilities towards their citizens
-for Jesus Christ to be present and glorified in every act of compassion
