Philippines | Floods

On the 7th August Pastor Roy Rocha asked for prayer

“We are flooded…Five of my members’ houses are submerged. For us it’s knee deep. In my mother’s, it was at waist deep. We are scared. Prayer will be appreciated.”

Grant Aldridge updates

You may well have seen on the TV news the flooding in Manila. Having talked to Pastor Roy Rocha today (Wednesday) he told me that the Church has once again been flooded, just short of three years since the last time. The roof of Roy’s house has been damaged by people trying to escape the flood waters. All of Roy’s family’s clothes, mattresses, bedding and books have been destroyed. Church members have had to evacuate their homes.  Roy does not even want to look at the devastation at this time but knows that he must. There is mud, mud and more mud. We can thank the Lord that the church members, Roy and family, Dennis and Richard are all safe.  Please pray for Roy and the situation that he and his people are in at this time. While I was speaking to Roy the rain was starting again.  Not surprisingly they are scared . Please pray for them all. Thanking you, Grant.

After taking this video Pastor Roy reported that “after an hour of taking this video the whole place submerged 20 hours.” ( referring to his home)

Some emergency funds have been sent. In due course there will be an assessment of the needs of the churches affected by the floods in Quezon City, Manila and their members and we will communicate these to you.
Please consider giving to provide relief for the Advent Christians affected including Pastor Roy Rocha and his church members and for the needs of the affected churches.
