It is important to again acknowledge just how grateful we are to all who have participated in the typhoon relief efforts thus far. I can’t imagine the state people here would be in without the generosity and compassion from you. Thank you!!! The impact can clearly be seen as many groups continue doing what they can to help bring restoration. There is still a long way to go. We are thankful to see support efforts have not dwindled.
With recent donations Hope for the island received, we bought materials to help 8 widows with urgent repairs so they can stay warm and dry.
Translation of first video: “Sir have pity on me. Help me. I need to repair my home. As you know I have no husband and my children are not with me. They are far from me in Manila”
Thank You
Our team continues to minister during the week throughout the northern communities. Each day is filled with unique challenges but the joy experienced overshadows it all. Many hearts once cold, are now responsive to the Lord. It’s our prayer that the seeds of God’s Word find their way into good soil producing lasting fruit.
Materials that arrived in the last shipment are now being used to construct living quarters at Hope for the Island for our team. Thus far they have been sleeping in tents and are regularly exposed to bad weather.
Thankfully the extra tarp we had left over was enough to help a local church and pastor friend temporarily repair the roof. Now they can fellowship again on Sundays!
