Serving in Dangerous Conditions


It has not been easy to deliver food to stranded families in the flooded streets of Pakistan.  A leader explains,

Most of the houses are very badly damaged and it is dangerous to live in them because the walls are cracked. We visited a school where around 250 families have been living for the last few days.

Some sources are already calling this the worst disaster in human history, and it is ongoing.  Water levels keep rising as rain continues.  Many people have been asked to move to safer ground. One area that was already flooded is in danger of flooding again.  In these drastic conditions, the team continues to find many who have been unable to find or prepare even the most basic meal.  Dry firewood is becoming scarce, so in addition to dry goods, OM Pakistan is also beginning to deliver pre-made meals.

Please keep praying for this team.  They face tough physical conditions, including a couple instances of violence.  They continue to adapt their distribution to these ever-changing conditions and ask your prayers for wisdom.  Pray for their protection and for God's peace throughout the region.

Thanks for your help reaching those displaced by the flood.  Click here to purchase a $25 food packet.
