A year ago last November, in Oriental Mindoro, Philippines, an evil wind came through and damaged/flooded much of the province. Houses, churches, and business were destroyed. People were put in a survival mode in a matter of hours. Pastor Jun, a pastor that I was with this past year, lost his home and his church building. The church began meeting under a large tent and plans were made for a new church facility. (Pastor Jun found housing and has waited for the church to be completed before focusing on a new home.) This last Sunday, the church celebrated the church's first service together in their new worship center.
This past Tuesday, Typhoon Nina, raised her ugly head and paid a "history repeats itself" visit. More trees down, more houses destroyed, and power lines down. For some, they were right back where they were a year ago. The church was made with cement blocks and stood the test of the storm. This area tends to be more susceptible to this evil winds than others. Pray for this people as they rebound once again.
