Last Monday while preparing for our relief operation Tuesday ACTION Philippine's Steet Impact Team (SITeam) received a request for aid for 23 families involved in one of our Feed My Starving Children feeding sites who were burned out by a fire on Sunday. The families are now living in a vacant lot under the care of the church overseeing the feeding and we'll give them relief supplies Monday. The requests for assistance keep coming so we're grateful to help as we can.
Today I had a meeting with reps from an international ministry who wants to partner with SITeam in our disaster relief ministry because we're "experts". I laughed when they said that and replied "we're not experts because we primarily work with street kids but we won't watch people suffer". O God help us not grow weary and become numb to the suffering of those surrounding us. Continue to give the means to deliver Your Word and compassionate care along with practical help to the needy.
