The temporary camp at Lisao is home to 433 displaced survivors of the devastating mudslides and floods that swept so many to their death.
The partially decomposed body of one sister in the Lord was buried where she was found, some 15 Km from her home.
The camp has been mostly cut off and has received only one supply of food in the past 10 days – enough to last a 2 or 3 days at most.
Harold made a difficult, exploratory journey on motorcycle today to assess the needs there. The people are
hungry and afraid of a possibility of an outbreak of malaria, living as they are in open school classrooms with no mosquito nets.
We have an early meeting tomorrow with the local village chiefs in our area to discuss how we can help there, and then Harold and I are going to try to get through with supplies in the afternoon if the road is passable. Please pray that it will stay dry overnight and that my ageing Land Cruiser (which has given so much trouble of late) will rise to the challenge.
Above all, pray that the Lord will overrule in these dreadful circumstances to bring glory to his Name, and blessing to the lost.
