I have made 5 missionary journeys to the Philippines. During this time I became friends with a number of Pastors there.In particular Pastor and Mrs. Mendosa, who live in Manila.
They and their congregation lost much of their possessions in the flood.They said that the water was waste deep in their home.
This is what they emailed me:
"we experienced the typhoon last Sept 26 upto now, a typhoon named Undoy, our house was filled with flood waters upto our waist. many of our belongings was destroyed, tables, chairs, refrigerator, etc. and also our jeepney (a jeep like vehicle) was filled water upto half of its windshield so all the parts of the engine and the engine itself was wreck by the flood. Upto this present time we are cleaning our house and we dont know if still there will be enough things that can be useful to our needs. "
I assume that the people of the congregation are in the same plight, if not worse. Also they are in a position to help their neighborhood and people on other islands.
Right now they are in need of financial support. I trust Pastor & Mrs. Mendosa to administer any funds that they get.
In the light of the Indonesian earthquakes, the plight of the Philippine people seems to diminish. However my heart and passion are towards them that is why I am asking for your help. I will be giving and I am asking you to join me.
I am asking for response. If you wish to help, I will set up a method to do so however I will need to hear from you. You can reach me on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/people/William-Campsall/1024673750.
I am not a very eloquent person but my passion for this is high.
Below are some articles that I found.
May you be blessed always.
