Distribution in Compostela and Nabunturan
Just
arrived back in Davao City from the Compostela Valley. Wow! I stand
amazed at how God can use our little lives to carry the Father's heart
to the poor and the broken. Today our Iris Relief Philippines 1st
Response team did a food distribution in Compostela. A church building
that was still standing was packed with 193 families waiting to receive
relief. We had words of knowledge for 25 people...
who ALL received a healing touch from Jesus. Then the miracles of God
worked through our hands confirmed the message of Christ as 230 people
entered a personal, hand-holding relationship with Him this morning.

Then
we traveled to New Bataan where a moutain there literally crumbled and
collapsed during Typhoon Bopha becoming an avalanche of giant boulders
and mud covering an entire community, and killing many hundreds of
people who are still buried underneath the mess. The spiritual
atmosphere from the grief and trauma was so heavy. We worshipped and
prayed in that place as our hearts broke for the people.

Altogether
in the last four days of distributing aid to the different villages
near Montevista, Compostela and Monkayo, 440 people have prayed with us
and given their lives to Jesus! We will return to a different area of
devastation to love on these precious people here after we rest this
weekend. Thank you so much for your prayers.
