Myanmar Cyclone
Strategic Partner - WorldVenture
Update from WorldVenture - "There are new concerns about food (getting it to the people), water (clean water), and sanitation and the threat of diarrhea and cholera. Each of these continues to take their toll.
The area where the cyclone hit is a major rice-producing region for the country. If the rice crop was destroyed, there could be a food shortage in the future. On top of that, houses are gone as are possessions.
Estimates in excess of 100,000 deaths have been listed and we are concerned that many more will die for lack of proper food and care. It is a very difficult situation.
WorldVenture has multiple ministry contacts in the region and we will be using secure approaches to provide support and relief to help these ministry partners. We believe God is the one who brings order and hope out of chaos. This is a significant opportunity to show the love of Christ and help the local Christians there convey the Good News of the gospel in a time of crisis.
In response to this tragedy, WorldVenture is receiving funds for humanitarian relief. Use the button at the top of this page to donate to Myanmar Cyclone Relief."
