Philippine Typhoon Survivors Begin to Rebuild - reuters.com
Excerpt from this article:
"Survivors began
rebuilding homes destroyed by one of the world's most powerful typhoons
and emergency supplies flowed into ravaged Philippine islands, as the
United Nations more than doubled its estimate of people made homeless to
nearly two million. But the aid effort was still so
patchy that bodies lay uncollected as rescuers tried to evacuate
stricken communities on Saturday, more than a week after Typhoon Haiyan
killed thousands with tree-snapping winds and tsunami-like waves."
-----------------
Christians
should be in the forefront of offering aid to those in the Philippines
suffering from the effects of typhoon Haiyan. One Christian organization
that you can donate money to is Samaritan's Purse,
and I encourage you to do so you can say Hurricane Katrina (or Sandy)
was the results of the sins of the people effected by those storms.
But
that doesn't mean that we can just write off these storms as though God
had nothing to do with it. That is a big mistake. Please take some time
to listen to these 3 sermons and podcasts which shed light on how God
speaks to us through disasters like the one that devastates so much of
the Philippians recently:
