I want to keep everyone up to date on things. I am preparing for a trip to respond to the Asia flooding that has devastated the region, causing loos of life, loss of homes and personal items, destroyed businesses and crippled entire cities.
I will be traveling to Thailand, Cambodia, and Bangladesh to help respond to the needs. I will try to keep you updated on the progress while in the countries, but will have limited internet. I also need to keep some information about locations and people I am working with quiet for security purposes for them and the ministry as well as any problems it might cause me.
In Bangladesh currently there are 20 churches damaged, with 2500 foursquare families homeless. Cambodia has lost thousands of acres of rice fields that support their hundreds of orphanages, schools, and churches. Thailand, the needs are a little unknown still, but the National Church is currently helping 200 families with food and supplies on a weekly basis. The government of Thailand says it might take months for them to get the water out of the city and even longer to fix the damages caused by the flooding.
We are excited about the opportunity to reach out to this area of the world in their time of need, and the doors that this will open. Please keep us in your prayers as we go, and reach out to this region of the world.
Blessings
Chad
