Prayer Petition - Disaster Response:
God of comfort, we lift up to you today the ministry of Disaster Response of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Malawi. In recent years, Malawi has been inflicted with natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and drought that hurt your people who have no safety net. Bless this important ministry which steps in helping all your children in need; supplying comfort, hope and assistance where otherwise there would be none. Amen.
Disaster Response
In the Karonga area in northern Malawi, when earthquakes hit in December, 2009, the ELCM was one of the first responders with items like tents, food, mosquito nets, and chlorine for safe water. As the growing season was disrupted, the ELCM provided emergency food aid as well. Many of the church buildings were damaged and the ELCM is assisting with some funding for repairs and building supplies. With climate change affecting Africa adversely, traditional weather patterns have been disrupted. Malawi has seen its share of flooding, drought, and destructive storms. The ELCM finds a way to help alleviate people’s suffering.
