Help!

“God is our refuge and our strength, an ever-present help in distress. Therefore, we fear not, though the earth be shaken and mountains plunge into the depths of the sea.” Psalm 46:2-3




Super typhoon Rolly (Goni) devastated the Bicol region last October 31. Hectares and hectares of crop land were damaged leaving farmers with no livelihood. Roads, and bridges, schools, homes and buildings were damaged and destroyed. Lahar flowed down from Mayon volcano and covered homes and rendering roads impassable. 300 homes were buried under huge rocks, 10 thousand small homes were washed away by flood waters. 




We prayed that the typhoon would grow weaker as it approached us here in the Metro Manila. We rejoiced when the intensity 5 typhoon veered away from hitting us. But our prayers and actions should not end when the typhoon did not affect us. Thousands and thousands of our brothers and sisters have no electricity, homes, no livelihood, no schools. We cannot imagine how devastated they are facing a bleak future. We must help and remember that it says in scripture, “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the LORD, and He will repay him for his deed”. (Proverbs 19:17)
