Remember that financial donations aren’t the only thing we can do to help our friends in the Philippines: We can pray for them too.
One of my Filipina friends, Julienne, just posted this on her Facebook profile tonight:
PRAYER BRIGADE: “Father God, we pray for your Divine Mercy. Spare us from another devastation. We haven’t recovered yet from the previous Typhoons. Another super typhoon threatens us & a possible strong earthquake. We implore You two drive away Typhoon RAMIL & the earthquake, prevent them from crossing any part of our country. We ask these in the Mighty name of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Related to this, I wanted to share something from my bro’s mother-in-law, Diane from Seneca Falls, NY…
“What [you're all] doing is wonderful and we’re trying to spread it to as many people on our end as possible. I e-mailed it to the church to go on the prayer list and to anyone else I could think of (you probably already got that one). Hopefully it will multiply many times over as the days go on!
Love,
Mom (Diane)”
After my bro and sis-in-law shared this email with me, I emailed Diane to thank her for her prayers and her donation. She replied with this:
“You’re welcome and I hope the donations and help multiply like you wouldn’t believe. The power of prayer is an amazing thing and you’ll be witness to it!
This was our sermon topic last week “If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,’ but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?” James 2:15,16
Your website brought it to mind this morning.”
