Deadly Floods in Indonesia

You made Christmas really special for 200 families who lost everything.

Late last year, Indonesia suffered rare flooding and landslides from not just one, but TWO tropical cyclones.

Over 1,000 died and more than 160,000 homes were destroyed.

But you delivered hope in the form of life-sustaining supplies.

“We knew three communities needed assistance.  Once we arrived, we discovered seven communities who had not been helped,” said Pastor Samuel, our national partner.

One pastor moved his family and belongings to the church moments before his home was destroyed.  They now live in the church and move everything around for Sunday worship.

“It was worse than we thought.  Price gouging in the area meant we couldn’t serve as many people unless we went back to the city (Medan) to get more supplies.”

So that’s what they did.  And they returned with more food, mattresses and supplies to serve all seven communities.

They also preached the Gospel and celebrated Christmas in each community.

We want to send heartfelt thanks to you.  You stood with us when we needed it most, providing not just food supplies but HOPE.  Thank you for being His hands and feet.  God bless you!

— Pastor Amos
