Having experienced a flood ( last January 3rd this year) ourselves, I could imagine the terror and the fear of the people. This time it's a big scale flood that has take 100 lives, made 451,000 people discplaced and 115,000 people in the evacuation centers.
The following days would indeed be the crucial times as water, food and supply are most needed. As children and older people are likely to get sick and diseases at the evacuation centers. I can't imagine, the thousands of people who worked hard for years to build their homes and just see it destroyed and with all their belongings gone within a few hours time. I can't imagine the cries of the babies who want to be comfortable in their own beds but are just sleeping on the floor at the evacuation centers. I wonder , what the people are thinking about now...
"Lord, I pray for your mercy and help to be upon our people. Let your comfort and strength be upon them. And even let this be the time, when they can see You take care of them, provide for them through your children."
Please pray for the thousand of flood victims in Metro Manila. And please extend your help too. You can send your donations through Operation Blessings , a Christian foundation committed to help build people's lives.
