Pray for our kids in the Philippines.

Got this from our daughter in Manila, Philippines.

Hi Guys-- this will be quick, as I don't have long and want to get our blog updated with more detailed information.
short points-- We had a Tropical Storm come through over the weekend, which turned into a Typhoon just after it passed over us... but while here it dumped 15+ inches of rain. We typically get 12 or so inches in the whole month of September... In all of this we had a landslide behind our condos-- no damage to our building and cars. We were without power for 3 days-- generator that would come on periodically but not reliable. We are safe and fine. We have food, water and power-- for now. Nearby areas of Marikina, Pasig, Cainta have been damaged greatly. If you hear of those areas that is our neighborhood. We can get out and around mostly. The ongoing concern and prayer would be for the warehouses of food storage-- for grocery stores--many have been flooded and all or most inventory lost. So pray for the supply of food and water to be replinished.

Also there are 2 more storm systems making a path towards the Philippines-- so pray for protection in that as well.

There are many families in our community whose homes have been ruined or damaged, so please keep them in your prayers.

With that there will be more information on our blog... We still don't have our internet-- but at least we have power.

love you guys,
Christa
