update re:crisis

 We are still working toward our goal of $25,000.CAD to deliver food and water for survival. TBA was able to send a portion of that already.

Currently, on the ground, the team is identifying the most desperate and planning for effective distribution. We should be getting pictures and perhaps some videos, soon.

Thank you to all who have responded with compassion. You are hope builders!

I feel so thankful that we serve a God who sees and rewards!! Our thanks feels too inadequate, may you encounter His! God bless each one of you!

"We are assisting the immediate needs of displace people, but it is not enough. We demand urgent support of other humanitarian organizations to assist people" (Magali Roudaut, MSF head of mission in DRC. MSF is 'Doctors without borders)

Hundreds of thousands of people are displaced.

UNICEF found 530 children who were separated from their families.

RED CROSS received 735 requests for help in finding missing children (news agency AFP reports)

Half a million are without water.....cholera poses a great threat creating an urgent need to provide safe drinking water.

Donations received through TBA, will be used to reach the survivors and provide FOOD and WATER. May God help us!

we have upgraded this blog to include a donate button. We are initiating a project to provide food and water for the refugees from the tragedy in Goma, DRC.

update

 The word on the ground in DRC is that the report of 200 tremors is incorrect, the people have counted 400! This raises the POSSIBILITY of a rift in the bottom of Lake Kivu that would release the methane gas 'bubble' that is under pressure there. If that were to happen.......

The chaos is continuing as they try to reunite children who have been separated during the crush of evacuation, and meet the basic needs of the refugees.

TBA is currently preparing the groundwork for responding adequately to the needs. Our focus will be food and water. We have direct contact with survivours who are being gathered in refugee camps. We are able to deliver supplies directly to the ones in need. (We thank God for providing this safe path! For such a time as this!) Now we need to organize this side.

We will keep you updated here as we try to prepare a rapid response. The situation is catastrophic and the needs are urgent!

Please keep us in your prayers?
