Typhoon Haiyan recently decimated the Philippines.
Two million people in 41 provinces have been affected by the typhoon; officials have estimated that 10,000 people lost their lives. We watched, horrified, as whole cities crumbled and villages were swept out to sea. We watched a nation sink to its knees.
But we don’t have to watch anymore. We can do something.
You can do something.
We have a long-term missions team based in the Philippines that’s already mobilizing, identifying needs, helping communities rebuild their lives and reunite their families, and bringing Jesus to a devastated country.
But they need your help.
You might offer food, clothing, and shelter to people in need of hope.
You might help remove debris from ravaged neighborhoods. You might offer care and treatment to injured people who’ve been displaced from their homes.
You could listen to heartbreaking stories and pray alongside the Filipino people.
Join us in making a difference in the lives of our brothers and sisters affected by the storms.
We need you to shine the light of Christ to the nation.
If you can’t be physically present on the scene, there are other ways to help. Prayerfully consider giving to our Disaster Response Fund, which supports our relief efforts in the Philippines.
The Philippines needs you.
Will you respond?
