Goma

 Apparently, the lava is still on the move. The situation is getting worse daily. There is an evacuation notice in effect. The streets are tightly crowded with those evacuating as quickly as possible. The city is home to nearly 1.5 million people.

More than 200 small and medium earthquakes have since caused cracks in buildings and streets in Goma. 

Together Building Africa has been able to get support to the orphanage we assist. We pray that it will get them through this time!

We have never used this blog to ask for support, but today, we MUST ask.....would you help us help them?

PLEASE pray....God believes in prayer even when we don't! He is faithful!!  🙏

small update;

 Pastor Raha is contacting people on the ground in Goma and we are considering our best response for the orphans at this time. 

Please continue to pray for guidance and wisdom!

Today's Update;

 Here is the latest update from the orphanage;

"the volcanic eruption was 4 km from the orphanage, we took the children and workers leaving all in the orphanage and in the rain, unfortunately the bandits entered the orphanage and stole 7 mattresses, 4 beds, solar panel and television from the children and take rice, corn flour, beans and others, this time the volcano situation has returned in half calm as for the damage of the volcano more than 1000 households are in streets without man, food, clothes so it is a natural disaster. Thank God in CM everyone is healthy

we have made 40km there and back with our workers and children, for the moment the earthquake is disturbing the city, the government has just requires ecveryone to sleep outside their house, Pray for us"

(I can't imagine 40km in the rain with 100 children! I passed on the information that we are praying and YOU are also praying for them. This brings great comfort!)

Thank you!!!!
