Philippine Needs

Hi NGL Brothers and Friends,

A quick note on what is going on at the moment with NGL:

Dave Munson and I have taught in a Bible School in the Philippines. I have continued to keep up and encourage many of the Alumni. As you know the huge Typhoon there is one of the largest in history. One city, Tacloban, was hit first and utterly wiped out. The winds were 195 mph sustained winds and
gusts of 225 mph. It is a wonder anyone lived. Small children were ripped from their mother's arms.

One of our Alumni, Richmond Sevillano, is a pastor and is on his way with a large caravan taking supplies to Tacloban. We are going to send relief soon through Pastor Richmond. We do know this will get to the people as he is delivering this part himself.

I know many of you have seen the pictures of the aftermath on TV. I would like to encourage you to give to help these people at this time before more die without water, food and medical supplies. You can send checks to NGL marked "Typhoon Relief" or do it on Pay Pal which would help us get funds to them quicker. This past Thursday, we sent the first financial help of $500.00 to Pastor Richmond. This will help him replenish what he is on the way with right now.

Pray also for Pastor Richmond as he personally is involved in taking supplies to these places as there is much looting going on. He said that many have been ransacking the stores that have anything left in them knowing they might be shot by the owners, but seeing that as their only chance to survive.

No Greater Love is no longer a United States alone ministry. We have invested strongly for the past 33 years in Honduras. We have people now in the Czech Republic and Viet Nam and others in the military oversees. We have been investing in some of these Alumni in the Philippines for over ten years. Shane Bishop is mentoring Pastor Richmond through Facebook. This is an opportunity to lift up the hands of our friends there during this time of their desperate need and opportunity.

My Secretary Abby and her husband Adam are also collecting the following items to be shipped to the Philippines in the near future... toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, brushes, band-aids, first aid kits, triple antibiotic ointment, deodorant, soap, shampoo, wash cloths and towels, flash lights and batteries. These items are being collected at the NGL Office and the First United Methodist Church of DuQuoin. For more information on donating items contact Abby at nglabby@yahoo.com or leave a message at the NGL Office 618-542-4503 and she will call you back as soon as possible.

Love ya's,
Fred
