The view from the roof of the church.In a pre-school,waiting out the storm in a pre-school.
A car repair shop in the neighborhood. Someone is still living here.
The front yard with things from the pastor's family buried in the mud.
Pastor Ricky and I discussing how to use the funds that I brought to help the church, the community and the pastor's family. Thanks to the donors.
I was able to visit this church three weeks after it was flooded by a typhoon, high tide and the emergency release of water behind dams. The pastor and his family got on the roof of their simple, rented residence as the water rose to 7 feet deep within the house. They then fled to a neighbor and finally to a local daycare center. They have moved back into their residence and with the help of many, they have restored some semblance of normalcy to their lives.
Pray for them as they seek to minister to families all around them.
I want to thank the donors who gave so generously so this could happen.

Hi Vance, thanks for this post. I heard some of the stories about what happened, but the pictures on your post spoke louder than words.
Thanks Sean
