Disaster Relief

April 4th, 2012

Once again the building committee has been called together to help rebuild or build houses for families in our community as the result of the earth quake that hit over two years ago.  There are still many families, many people that are living in tents, in houses that have cracks in them, or in houses that do not have a wall that surrounds their house.  Last week Friday the committee met and went through the many applications.  There are so many and there is only so much money!  As a committee we took almost six hours to assess which families needed the ‘most’ help.  As you can understand this was a difficult tasks for us.  Over the next couple of weeks the committee will go and visit some of the homes to finish assessing the need.

This is a huge project and we would like you to include us in your prayers.  So please pray for:  discernment in picking the families that need the most help; hiring of labourors to do the work, the work to be completed on time; understanding from the community about the decisions that we have made.
