Yolanda brought disaster, but we can turn it into something good



It is inescapable. Unless you have been living under a rock for the last week or so, you have seen the destruction that Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda brought to the central Philippines.

For the millions who have prayed, we believe that God has heardour prayers. Thank you for your prayers. For those whose faith is in the power of the human spirit, thank you for the confidence that the people of the Philippines will be able to rise up and rebuild. But to all of us, regardless of our faith, we ask not only for kind thoughts and prayers but action. Fund raising events have began to sprout left and right, you can do your part. No dollar amount or service is too small. There is a kindness inherent in all of us that aches each time we see the desperation of the people.

We had a fund raising dinner with our friends at Tselogs and Voice of Victory church on 
Thursday and raised over $6,000 for the Typhoon Yolanda Relief effort! Thank you everyone for your help and generosity! This is just the beginning. We will announce more fund raising events and in-kind donation stations soon. 

The people need help for many months, maybe even years to rebuild their lives so our attempt to help should be on going, think immediate and longer term assistance. We have all been blessed so abundantly and have no reason to hold back. Just give what you can and it shall return to you!

God bless you all and thank you so much for your generosity!
