The Best We Can Do

Our medicine and equipment boxes are full and the medi-van is gassed up. We're rolling out at 5AM to go to the flood disaster areas in the south with pastor Fredy. We were scheduled to go on Monday but because Fredy had to go somewhwere else it was postponed until tomorrow. 


This is a terrible disaster that will take years to recover from.  We are going to do the best we can for these hurting people. 


One good thing I heard is that president Fernandez is not allowing houses to be rebuilt in the flood prone areas- smart guy.


Pray for us as we seek to make a difference in the lives of a couple hundred peoples lives tomorrow.


This picture makes it clear about how bad this flood was.  at least 100 communties have not been reached yet. Bodies are covered by mud and debris and may never be recovered.
