Relief projects
One week of non stop rain! Yes, I know it's crazy cold there right now in the states... but it was also cold here this past week as the sun disappeared and all we saw was the gray and rain! I think it was actually in the 70's! But, although i enjoyed putting on a jacket and an occasional long sleeve, the rain caused much tragedy this past week as flooding washed many peoples homes away.
Since CH is in the mountain we were blessed to just be inconvenienced by loss of power and some big ol mud puddles. We thank God for His protection to us. And, since are blessed here we were able to extend immediate help to many whose homes were lost. In nearby towns there were evacuation centers filled with 400 to even more than 2,000 people. We spent the day in one evacuation center cooking and serving food, getting to know the people, ministering to them, and providing medical help. Please pray for these families who were already struggling to make it day to day, and have now lost their homes and come down with many illnesses due to the living conditions, weather, and lack of clean water!
