I got this email from Kids Internations Ministries in the Philippines. They were my contact in the Philippines and hae an awesome ministry bu now they are really in need of some help. Please consider helping them if you can. Thanks!
Below is a call from Jeff Long, President of Kids International Ministries.
"Dear friends,
In the past two weeks we have seen not one but two deadly fires break out in the middle of the slums of Manila. These fires have destroyed hundreds of homes, displacing thousands of lives. At this point more than a dozen people have been found dead in the ruins…many of these victims are kids.
In the aftermath of such events, the people, including children, get no clean water, very little food and become sick. Many of these people do not have a relocation site to go to, resorting to sleeping along the roads and huddling wherever they can find shelter.
We have an opportunity to help in this urgent time of need. Our missionaries, local Filipino team members and short-term workers are delivering food and water and meeting other needs as supplies become available.
If you can help at this time, our promise is that 100 percent of your donation will go to help these kids and families. We will work in and through local bodies of believers so they will be seen in the community as people who reach out to address the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the lives devastated by these sudden tragedies.
We are currently heading into the hot season when families without basic shelter are exposed to tremendous heat from the elements. Besides food and water, there is a need for building materials, buckets and cooking items.
God knows each one’s pain. Join with us in showing His compassion by helping these families and communities rebuild their lives from the ashes.
You can give online at www.kidsim.org or by sending a check to Kids International Ministries, P.O. Box 1369, Lawrence, KS 66044."
