Cyclone Idai Relief - March 19, 2019

Thank you for your prayers and concern in the wake of widespread flooding in the region. Initial trips into the surrounding villages were quite hopeful. A dike that was built during dry season saved an entire village from devastation. People who were moved to higher ground after the floods in 2015 were not in danger this time. People seem to be working hard to salvage whatever they can where homes and fields have been damaged. The biggest loss is in the fields where entire crops were destroyed.

August 14, 2017 - Sierra Leone: Massive Flooding and Mudslides

On August 14, 2017 heavy rains caused serious flooding and mudslides resulting in the deaths of over 200 people and countless have been left homeless. Andrew & Angela Sesay, Iris leaders in Freetown, are safe and heading to the devastated area to bring hope and relief. They have asked for prayer for the families who have been affected - many have lost everything including loved ones - and prayer for restoration. Rebuilding homes will take time and resources, but the restoration of hearts dealing with trauma is something only God can do.

"You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you." Isaiah 26:3

This week we have received more rain in the Lower Shire, but there is also an increase in our appetite to surrender our hearts unconditionally to the Lord. Our church services here on the base over the last few weeks have been much more vibrant – the Lord is at work, causing His bride to be strong and able to help the weak. In the camps, as pastors and missionaries go to encourage, people are calling out for prayer, and open to encouragement.

Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Thankfully we’ve had a week of mostly dry weather, providing much better conditions to assist in the relief effort. We are grateful for your prayers and support. Iris staff and missionaries have been working hard to get much needed resources to the victims of the flood, as well as visiting the camps to pray and encourage those who are stranded there.
