Flooding in Peru

Peru is currently experiencing some of the worst flooding in years.  Riverbeds that are often dry are spilling over their banks in the capital city of Lima.  Many people, including missionaries, are ironically without water as the canals have been damaged.  The death count is currently (18MAR17) at 62.  Please pray for opportunities to use this crisis to share about the Living Water that Jesus provides and to show compassion to our fellow man. I am currently helping coordinate funds for relief efforts in Lima to help provide food and water to those that have lost their homes.  

Please pray for those who have lost everything.  Give praise that our water came back last night after being cut off since Tuesday (except for a couple of hours Thursday morning).  Pray for wisdom in knowing how we can help most in this crisis.
