New PAZ Base: SinopAMAZON FLOOD
May 14, 2009 | Written by Nate Reutter | 2 responses
The record-setting flood of 2009 is making international news and leaving many in near impossible situations with flooded homes and little food. We urgently need your help! The current need is tremendous, and there is a great opportunity to reach out and help the victims of this great flood. The Santarém PAZ church produced this news documentary to show the intense need. We present it to you.
The latest estimates are that 300,000 people are currently homeless because of the flooding. Many people continue to live in their flooded homes because they have nowhere else to go. Project AmaZon, its local churches and several other churches are raising money to aid those most affected by the flood.
A missions team recently visited a local flooded community to help build a new church and provide such assistance. This community has been very resistant to the Gospel up to this point, but in the midst of these great and challenging circumstances, 6 people gave their lives to the Lord! While the need is great, people are open to receive the help they need and be transformed. Let’s make the most of this time, and show Christ’s love! The need is most urgent. We are poised to make a huge impact together in the lives of thousands. Click here to donate now.
“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me… I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” Matthew 25:35-36; 40b
