Christian to Co-Lead Iris Relief 1st Response Team
A couple of
days ago, super-typhoon Bopha ravaged the Philippines leaving over 500
dead (with death toll rising) and over a quarter million homeless and in
desperate need of food and clean water. I have been chosen to co-lead
(with missionary team mate Jesse Gellatly) a small Iris Relief 1st
response team into Mindanao, Philippines.
.
We will be bringing physical and spiritual aid to those in the shelters and in the least accessible areas. I will leave on December 11th and be gone for two weeks. We will also be partnering with other NGOs and getting things set up for a 2nd response team to go in after us in January. Mindanao is a strongly Muslim area and our long-term goal is to have an Iris base there. Iris Philippines already has been established in Manila, and we will be assisting them in their vision for the Philippines. Please pray for us and especially for the precious people affected by this natural disaster! Also- If it is in your heart to help cover my costs for the trip, you can give through the Paypal link on this missions blog. Thank you all so much! I will write posts here as I am able to from the ground in the Philippines.
