November 2009

Long after the news media quits reporting, people in Philippines are still hurting after the devastation caused by Typhoon Ketsana. Our ministry team was on hand to meet their needs and share the love of Christ. That and more this issue of Mission:Asia, your window to the Great Commission front lines.

TYPHOON ROARS ACROSS PHILIPPINES
Typhoon Ondoy (internationally named Ketsana) roared across the Philippines Saturday, September 26, 2009, devastating the nation with flash floods and landfalls in several provinces.
Though the nation was unprepared for a disaster of this magnitude, Fairview Victory Church joined several public and private organizations in giving food and funds to Typhoon victims, and organized clean up missions in disaster zones half a mile from the ministry base. In the past week many Victory Church members have been volunteering their time to assist in areas affected by the storm.
Pastor Richard Conte noted, “We’ve given 4,116 bags of relief goods! That's 4000 families who've been able eat! We're distributing not only food &
used clothing, but new clothes, towels, bed sheets, flip flops & straw mats to sleep on, and some building materials too!”
As the country recouperated, Victory Philippines decided to host a worship conference. Hundreds were blessed as a team from Canada taught; Dr. Al and a small team were also there for follow up from the disaster and to help the ministry move forward.
In January, Sawang and I hope to go to this amazing country to get some filming done for Continuum TV and to help minister there where needed. The nation is in the beginning stages of revival, and it’s all hands on deck to usher in a new generation of believers into the Kingdom of God!
