Council in the Philippines
Dear Friends,
Our heart goes out to you in prayer and anguish as we hear and
see reports of severe flooding in Manila and surrounding areas. It is of great
concern that 780,000 people have been displaced and have fled their homes as Manila continues to be battered by torrential
rains that have paralysed the city. We are anxious about landslides and release of
water from dams that have endangered the lives of many communities.
It is quite distressing to note
that a city that was battered by storm Saola just recently is once more experiencing
heavy rains that are aggravated by tropical storms in the vicinity, and are
predicted to continue throughout the day.
We pray that
Jesus is with you in the boat that is tossed by storms, and that He will calm tempests
and heal the battered and the wounded. We also
remember in prayer Japan and Taiwan who also recently bore the brunt of
torrential rains and storms.
The CCA family
joins me in prayers and solidarity with people of Philippines.
Sincerely
Henriette Hutabarat Lebang
General Secretary
