FELLOWSHIP IN THE SUFFERINGS OF SAINTS

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,

Greetings in the most precious name of our God and Saviour
the LORD Jesus Christ, whose we are and whom we serve
until He comes again! Maranatha!!!

The world was witness through the TV news and internet about
the latest disaster that has affected hundreds of thousands in
the Metro Manila Area comprising of 13 cities & municipalities in the Philippines.

What you have seen in the TV is true all over the Metro Manila Area. In fact, it includes the immediate provinces of Pampanga, Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna & Cavite. There are no electricity & water in these areas now.

My family and I are all doing well in Jesus name. We live in Greenhills Area at the 6th Floor. This is a very safe place. The LORD has been very gracious and faithful. We praise God for His protection and preservation.

My home church, where I moved my Covenant Membership from Jersey City Wesleyan Church (pastored by Rev. Donavan
Shoemaker) is Cainta Wesleyan Church. Almost 100% of the Cainta Area were submerged in flood waters as well as San Mateo, Marikina, Pasig & Pateros.

The church sanctuary & parsonage together with the premises
of the Wesleyan Academy were in flood waters of less than 6 ft from saturday to morning of monday All the sound system has been in flood waters. Most of our members in Cainta were also affected. Their homes were under water reaching even the second floors. You can just imagine what the flood waters has done to all appliances and furnitures.

Everything in the ground floor of the church and the Wesleyan Academy were submerged in flood waters. All cars and vehicles were submerged in flood dirty waters too.This is true in the whole area of Cainta which was 100% under water.

Now that the waters has receded, the clean up is very slow because the water company has not yet fully restored service plus the fact that electricity is still to be restored hopefully at the latest next week. There is much garbage and trash all over the area.

The death toll is about 200 plus there are still many missing.

Remember to pray for many of our christian brethren in many churches within the National Central District of the Philippine Wesleyan Church.

If you sense and believe that you would like to participate in the fellowship of the sufferings of God's people here in the Philippines, I initiated personally to raise some funds to help our church and the other Wesleyan churches affected.

The Apostle Paul in God's Word, the Bible encourages and challenges believers in Christ Jesus to go out of their way to help in times like these. He writes in
Galatians 6:9-10 (King James Version)

9And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

10As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
