Impact on those we know

‌

Extensive damage has been caused to the homes of the Bro and Sis who live on the Island of Santo and Malekula. Gardens have been damaged, Electricity and Running water are also no longer available and debris has been blown all over the town. Obtaining clean water and food is the priority at this time.

No lives of the Bro and Sis have been lost and we can thank our God for watching over them and keeping them all safe.

The Bro and Sis in these parts of Vanuatu urgently need your support and prayers at this very difficult time. Please think of those Bro and Sis in less fortunate circumstances than our own.
