Typhoon Sendong

Another killer typhoon has recently hit the Philippines. Typhoon Sendong (international name Washi) attacked Northern Philippines specifically Cagayan de Oro City last Saturday claiming hundreds of lives and destroying several millions worth of properties. Today, thousands of families in that place are suffering from the aftermath of the typhoon (i.e. continuous flood, food and water shortage, physical losses, emotional pain, etc.).

I feel for my fellow countrymen at this turbulent time in their lives. It’s sad that Christmas is just around the corner and yet, they can no longer celebrate as much as they want because of the tragedy that befell them. I can only hope and pray that the much-needed help from the national government and all those charitable organizations reach them fast. I am certain, though, that God will provide for all their needs. All they need to do is to call on Him and keep their faith as strong as ever.

I call on you (yes, you who are reading this!) to pray for the safety and well-being of our fellow countrymen in Cagayan de Oro and the nearby provinces that were affected by the typhoon. Let’s be united in prayers that they get the help they need fast and they be spared from further devastation and loss.
