Happy Saturday, GTF fam!  I am so excited to share that the flooding has gone down enough for everyone to return home!

Thank you all SO much for praying with us during this stressful time for our group at the prayerhouse village! We’ll continue to pray that this will come together for the good of this group and convince the government to step in on their behalf with a safe place to live.

Coming home from evacuation

After the flooding, we were so grateful for a few sunny days, allowing the water to recede from the village!

We got everyone back home, dried out what we could, and ensured everyone had groceries. And we have an incredible surprise praise!

 

Shanti’s baby born!

Our surprise praise is a new baby in the village! Shanti went into labor during the stress of evacuation, and she and her baby are both doing well!  We have prayed so much for this woman and all she’s been through. (You can see our first prayer request here) She had a malignant tumor and stage 3 cancer. We prayed for her through her decision to have the high-risk surgery, waiting until after Christmas so she could have that time with her family. The surgery was successful but caused a stroke, and she had to regain her ability to use the left side of her body and to walk again.  It’s been a long road for her, but praise God she did!

And then, while her home was flooding and she had to leave to shelter in the local schoolhouse, she went into labor! Praise God, everything went well, and she and the baby are healthy and now back home. ♥

Groceries for the village

After a week of evacuation and stress, everyone returned and tried to salvage things damaged by the flood. And so we made sure to bring groceries to make sure everyone has food in their huts!
