       JOIN CHRISTIAN EVENTS SA TO PRAY FOR RAVAGED PHILIPPINES

Survivors of super Typhoon Haiyan are desperate need of food, water and medical care. Over 10,000 people are dead after deadly tropical storm blew through the Philippines over the weekend. Close to 9.7 million people in 41 provinces were also affected by the typhoon. The storm destroyed several homes leaving more than 600,000 people have been displaced.

CNN reporter Holly Yan wrote of described the atmosphere among survivors as filled with "The unbearable stench of rotting flesh. The search for relatives under heaps of rubble. The desperate pleas for food and water."
Humanitarian organizations and foreign governments are working assist the country in its recovery. The U.S. Navy are headed to the country with helicopters, medical facilities, and tools to convert seawater into drinking water.

Although African  Christians are continents away, we can help.
