Truck loaded with relief goods and construction materials. We even helped other organizations get goods into Baganga because we are one of the few groups still going in to help.
After helping with the rescue operations and saving lives, we shifted our focus to help a particular church on the coast. It is Faith Tabernacle Church pastored by Pastor Proceso Puzon, a 70 year old year man and whose wife was killed in the storm. The church is still standing, but it has no roof and some of the walls are on the verge of collapse. The thing that struck me the most about this church is the attitude of the people. Despite losing his wife, the pastor had a thanksgiving service to celebrate 24 years of being there.
We have committed to putting a roof on this church and it is taking some serious money and work to get it done. Our team has been out there numerous times and travelling the road to this remote place is dangerous, difficult, and it has cost us much fuel and damaged many vehicles. Honestly, I’m weary from all these trips. It’s cost me time, health, and money. I miss my wife and my son, but how much more does Pastor Puzon miss his wife?
Despite these hardships, we are not giving up on this church and these communities. Can you please join with me in making a financial sacrifice to help this church and these people?
