A Call To Help Apostolics Affected By Ondoy

A Message To All Members of the UPC Phils., Inc.

Dear Brethren in Christ,

As we all know, the greater Metro Manila Area and some parts of the NSLD and CLD were devastated recently by massive flooding because of typhoon Ondoy. We are now on the 3rd day after this tragedy yet there are still casualties being found and problems are arising from the said sad event.

Based on studies on the aftermath of Storm Katrina on the US, it is only correct to presume that the rise of casualties and other problems related to Ondoy will be inevitable. Hunger, sickness, and death is a common aftermath when a catastrophe like this happens. This is because of extreme shortages of food, water, medical supplies, and medical services on the affected areas.  It was confirmed by Pastor Oscar Picar that 4 Oneness Apostolic brethren from Metro Manila are dead because of Ondoy. Another 560 apostolic families from 34 churches are badly affected right now and are suffering from hunger, thirst, and sickness. More sadly, the statistics are still rising…

The United Pentecostal Church Philippines is organizing a relief operations for the said affected families. We are encouraging all our brethren to please help in whatever way you can… These are the kind of times when apostolic love and compassion should shine. We are one body and we should feel the pain that our  brethren are suffering right now…

Here’s a list of the goods that are needed:…

Food: Rice, noodles, canned goods, sugar, salt, cofffee, chocolate drinks

Water: potable water stored in containers, bottled water, water purification tablets

Medicines: Paracetamol, antibiotics, analgesic, rehydration salts, multivitamins, vitamin C, medications to treat diarrhea and other diseases.
