The devastation, the catastrophic loss of life and the suffering are impossible for us to imagine, even in our world with such extensive and immediate media coverage. The people of the Philippines need our prayers and our support now.
When disasters like this strike, our office often receives calls and emails from generous people around the country wanting to know how they can help.
Our goal at Mission Doctors is to build sustainable healthcare in rural communities around the world, so in emergency situations like this we encourage people to support the work of CRS, Catholic Relief Services.
Personally, I have seen their amazing work first handed when I served in Thailand with my husband and children. They were the first to respond during an emergency and stayed until their services were no longer needed – and they always served with loved. My husband and I are supporting Catholic Relief Services' work and encourage everyone to join us - visiting their website crs.org
Sadly as the death toll climbs every hour, please join us also in praying for our brothers and sisters in the Philippines, for those who have lost their lives, for their loved ones, for communities. May their faith give them strength, may they, through us, know how much our heavenly Father loves them.
