Although I am sure the U.S. media is not reporting on this any longer, a large portion of Pakistan is still devastated by the flood. Many of the victims have returned to their home, but they are sleeping in their tents. With winter approaching, the misery just continues.
The hospital has been given a special donation from First Presbyterian Columbia to help with the flood relief. Although they have been the only ARP church who has offered money for the flood relief through World Witness, I know there are many ARP’s who have prayed for the country of Pakistan during this difficult time. We were able to take the First Pres. donation and have partnered with The Brethren Group in the city of Multan. Multan is very close to the flood areas. The Brethren Group had previously developed a very organized system and census of the are to help distribute aid and funds. We were able to give 50 families= 2 beds, 2 full set of bed sheets and comforters, enough commodities of food for 1 month and cooking oil for 1 month. We distributed the aid to the majority community and they were so thankful for our work . They said that the Christians were the first ones to respond to their need. Praise The Lord!
I am giving you some pictures of the distribution. I just heard we received a LARGE donation from a group out of Canada. We will work to either distribute more food and bedding or maybe we can start building some houses. God is so good! Please pray that we help as Jesus helps and that the love of Christ is shown through our actions!
