We are getting reports from our partners on the ground. Initial contact from our primary partners indicated that they were safe and assessing the damage and need. In fact, our director of operations sends the following update:

“To get access to e-mail takes two to three hours with very low connection. I am very concern now that I have not heard from the neighboring region. Their area was one of the worst areas where the storm hit. Please continue to pray for them. The road is still blocked so we can’t send anyone by bus to see what happened there (In “good” times it is about and 8 hour bus ride). The rest of the outreach people are OK but need to fix their houses. One of the roofs is wide open and water is up to their knees now inside their house. Other houses are completely under water. Please continue to pray for that God will take care of us as He did in the past many years.”

These individuals regularly minister in schools, orphanages, prisons, churches, and the marketplaces all over the country, and are very familiar with all the areas directly affected by the storm. We want to ensure that they are well resourced to not only participate in the relief efforts, but to share the gospel with storm victims looking for the type of hope and peace that can only be found in Jesus Christ.

Please pray for the safety and protection of our 67 certified instructors and their families – and that God will use them greatly during this tragedy.

Also, pray about how you can get involved.
