Flood Relief for the Philippines

Dear Friends,

 

Relief aid for victims of the floods in the Philippines

 

As you are aware that the Philippines was recently hit by a series of typhoons recently, the latest being Typhoon Vamco, where many have died, and hundreds of thousands have been evacuated.

 

Pst Jose Laquihon Reyes, a good friend of mine and a Haggai alumni, is coordinating relief aid for the victims, especially those hit in the coastal areas. Together with his church, they are doing all they can to show the love of Jesus to the victims in these desperate times and also share the good news of Jesus.






I have many pictures to show that the need is genuine. I know Pastor Reyes well and he is a good man. 

 

Here's the overview of the flood victims ONLY in the coastal areas we are ministering to (we cannot handle all). 

 

1. Brgy. SAMPIRUHAN Evacuation centers 

 

A. Cardinal Covered Court - 165 families or/ - 616 individuals

B. Multi-Purpose Hall - 75 families or/ - 249 individuals 

 

TOTAL 1 = 240 families/865 pax 

 

2. Brgy. PALINGON Evacuation Centers: 

 

A. Elementary School Campus - 71 families or/ - 248 individuals 

B. High School Campus - 269 families or/ - 959 individuals 

C. Covered Court - 66 families or/ - 288 individuals 

 

TOTAL 2 = 406 families/1,495 pax

 

3. Sitio RONGGOT Situation in Sito Ronggot residential area and evacuation center 

1. Lecheria Elem. School Evacuation Center - 34 families or/ - 131 individuals 

 

GRAND-TOTAL 680 families (2,491 pax)

 

The flood situation is expected to last for about 2-3 months and in the meantime, these victims need food supplies, clean water, health/hygiene amongst others. I know times are hard even in Singapore due to Covid19 but let’s trust God and help those who are in desperate need. I am trying to raise about Sing 10,000 to sow into the lives of these victims to meet their basic needs. Any amount is welcomed.

 

Please contact me if you want to be part of this project. May God bless you and your household as you consider partnering with us in this project.

"It is finished" - Jesus Christ

Image
John 19:30 - When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. It's Good Friday again. The world pauses and recollects the events that changed the course of history. For me it was a time to reflect on the finished work of our Lord on the cross. He paid the price for my redemption. But it dawned on me that Jesus, himself, had a task to do while on this earth, He was on a mission. There was a time frame. There was a script to follow. In military terms , there was an objective he had to capture. Anything short would have been a disaster. But towards the end, in spite of the agony at Gethsemane, the unfair trail, humiliating and torturous journey via Dalarosa, Jesus cried, "It is finished". What an achievement. What a fitting eulogy.  Jesus was faithful to His mission - Hebrew 3:2 Jesus was focused on His mission - Luke 9:51 Jesus finished His mission - John 19:30  Judas towards th

What a trip to Nepal

Image
I am sitting at the airport restaurant in Kathmandu, checked in and waiting for my departure to New Delhi and from there, onward to Singapore.  Just sipping and enjoying the Americano coffee and a slice of cheese cake as I reminiscent my last nine days in Nepal. It has been a incredibly tough trip but one filled with joy, great satisfaction and challenges. Tough because of the bad roads, tracks and mountain trekking that really tested my endurance and my back was sore.  Couple of knocks on the head as the vehicle danced to the tune of the undulating terrain. Days when I had terrible diarrhoea, running from one mountain toilet to another. Thank God I had Dr Mike Ong on this trip who is a medical doctor from Singapore, who attended to my condition. Times when we had to sleep on the cold floor with thin sheets of cloth, with rodents in the vicinity. Temperatures dropped to a low of 10-12 degrees centigrde in the nights. Eating the food offered by the villagers as we were up in the mounta

Devotion - Psalms 44: 6-7 - Its God who gives the victory

Image
Psalms 44:6-7 - I put no trust in my bow, my sword does not bring me victory; but you give us victory over our enemies, you put our adversaries to shame. Any soldier will know that the basic weapon of warfare, in those days, were the bow and sword. Without which no soldier will not venture into the battle field. Even the famed Goliath was geared in full battle order when he faced David with the stones and the sling. Isn't it a paradox then that David, one of the finest soldiers Israel had ever produced, proclaims that its not the bow and the sword that gives the victory. Its is the Lord, Jehovah, that gives the victory. I don't think David is trying to say that we should not prepare ourselves for warfare. His concern is that we recognize that ultimately its the Lord that gives the victory. A few things we need to remember: Human efforts are necessary in the God-man partnership Human efforts alone does not guarantee God intended results Recognize that its God that always gives u
