2008 Disaster News

    Burma/Myanmar - May 11, 2008 - Bill McDonough has arrived in Myanmar to begin relief work.  Details soon.

 Earlier in 2008:

     January 2008 saw political violence in Kenya creating a humanitarian disaster.  At this writing tens of thousands are still out of their homes;  Some people were killed and then in April, thousands were still in displaced peoples camps.  Jobs, businesses, and farms were lost creating a long term problem that will only be solved with political stability and time, the very thing that poor people do not have.  Add to these problems we are seeing the prices of basic foods, beans and rice, more than double in price.

     Christian leaders in Kenya are ready to help their poor neighbors.  If your heart breaks when you see the poorest people hurting in disasters and if you want to see God receive the glory when food, water, temporary shelter and other emergency supplies are distributed through local churches, please consider working with us. 

     Our ministry needs your prayers and your contributions to empower Christians who are  near communities hurting from tornadoes, hurricanes, war, earthquakes, drought, floods and other disasters. 

    For over twenty five years the WFR (White's Ferry Road) church of Christ Relief Ministries has responded to human needs during disasters.  With your help and your appeals to God we can make a difference. 

Thanks so much,

Don Yelton
