I wanted to make sure I shared a post about some recent events in country. Many of you may have read or seen on the news, a story or stories about bad flooding that has been happening here.

I want to assure you that all is well in the city and area of the country I live in. If any of you have been worried, please know that I am safe. The vast majority of bad flooding happened to the southwest and northwest of us in rural villages. It has been a rough rainy season and we got hit with the leftovers of a few tropical storms that brought some high winds and heavy rain. It is very hard to get accurate information here as the news sources are often not too reliable. A recent estimation is that 80 people have lost their lives and 300,000 misplaced or lost homes from the floods. All over the city groups of people are taking money and clothing donations to send to flood victims and a few NGOs are also working to provide aid. Please lift up the affected areas. Many have lost homes, livelihoods, and family members as a result of the floods. Speaking to the Father on their behalf is the best way for you to help. Ask that the suffering will push them to seek meaning and purpose in life and lift up local believers who have the opportunity to minister to their neighbors- providing support and sharing the truth.
