| Projects P003—Philippines Typhoon Relief In December 2004, the Philippines were hit by four “super” typhoons which caused landslides and flooding leaving at least 1,500 dead and survivors homeless. The C&MA churches in the Philippines responded with practical help. Here are excerpts from a recent report from dr. Jose Dalino, president of CAMACOP (AWF’s partner church on the Philippines): “Through the sacrificial help of the body of Christ we were able to help over 700 families (4000+ people) in the 3 provinces. We also helped build 3 houses of Alliance church members destroyed by the typhoon with the help of volunteer Alliance Biblical Seminary students. Food, clothing, medicines, blankets, etc. were distributed to members of our churches and others. Church president Dr. Joe Dalino describes the situation: “I was shocked to see the devastation, caused by flood waters and strong winds especially in Tongohin (where 300 people died or are reported missing) and saddened as I listened to the stories of survivors from that village.” The team was received with tears as people lined up to receive food aid.” Teams preach about the love of God and demonstrate it by giving relief aid. Visited was also Infanta on an island where 600 people died and hundreds are still missing. The town proper was deserted covered with mud about 3 to 5 meters high. Dalino: “I can only imagine of the grace of God upon our team. Thank you for praying for us. We will still continue with the rehabilitation of houses destroyed by typhoons.” |
