Prayer For Local Area:

Wandsworth

‘We give thanks for a wonderful baptism service held on Easter Sunday where we celebrated not only the great victory of the gospel as our Lord revealed His authority over death but we witnessed the relevance of that great event in the lives of our young people through their testimony. We thank God too for another young lady who was baptised on Sunday 26th April which was our mission Sunday.'

Prayer For Wider Area:

Toll mounting due to Cyclone Aila

Cyclone Aila (eye-la) has displaced millions of people in India and Bangladesh. The storm pounded the Bay of Bengal earlier this week and did its worst damage in the flooding and mudslides that followed the onslaught.

Gospel For Asia President KP Yohannan says their West Bengal headquarters has become a makeshift shelter for cyclone Aila victims.

"At least 13 islands have been devastated by the cyclone," a GFA correspondent wrote, describing the scene. "Each island is filled with salt water, and people find it difficult to find fresh water to drink.

Yohannan added, "Some 2,000 mud and thatched homes were completely washed away, and some 40,000 people stranded. We have 32 churches on those islands, so a lot of them are damaged."

He's concerned about a second wave of disaster is expected to take its toll through starvation and disease. "The help is getting there very slowly. People are stranded, and dozens of bridges were completely washed away; roads are gone."
In one area, every child who attends a GFA Bridge of Hope centre is now homeless because of the storm. The parents, most of whom make their living through subsistence farming and other agricultural pursuits, are at a loss.

"It is our God-given opportunity to respond to this suffering and demonstrate Christ's love," Yohannan declared. Nearly 400 families who attend churches led by GFA-supported missionaries lost their homes in the storm.

He says, "We have church members and missionaries working non-stop bringing food, drinking water, blankets and cooking vessels, kerosene stoves, clothes and shelter-whatever they can, and ministering to people at this time."

Government authorities are calling the situation "desperate" and fear that salt water brought in by storm surges after the cyclone will contaminate the fresh water that is needed for farming. Farmers in the area have lost much of their rice crop, which was at the brink of harvest.

Pray for the families who lost loved ones in this tragedy. Pray too, for the people who are still stranded throughout the region. Finally, ask God to guard the pastors and missionaries so they will be able to access those regions, bring relief,
