Disaster Assistance - Super Typhoon Haiyan

Hi Everyone You most likely have heard about the devastation of Super Typhoon Haiyan. The numbers are just starting to come in and the death toll is going to be in the thousands or more and the destruction is massive. This has not been verified but here is one update I have received(The Philippines Red Cross has received reports suggesting #typhoon killed at least 10,000 in #Tacloban, 2000 in #Samar province Via REUTERS). The Disaster Assistance Church of Christ Mission has already made several contacts and is reviewing how we will be able to help. We are also working on plans to send one of our Disaster Assistance Managers so we can have someone on the ground in the area for a few weeks. We know that there are lots of Churches of Christ and missionaries in the Philippines. The Disaster Assistance Mission will work thru as many of those church programs as we can. Those of you who have followed our mission work know that we keep you updated very well so you can verify where your funds are being spent and if you haven’t followed us you can view our web site www.disasterassistancecoc.com and link to our facebook page where we post updates and photos almost everyday. We also have photo albums on the facebook page of our past mission works. Just sense Feb 10, of this year we have help in over 5 locations, served over 107,000 meals, handed out many semi loads of supplies, housed over 2000 volunteers that helped with cleanup and repairs and have purchased thousands of dollars of furniture to replace what was lost. All of this is detailed on our FB page. We are a nonprofit 501 C 3 mission. Everyone that works with us is a volunteer we pay no one a salary. We are also associated with the Lake Jackson Church of Christ in Lake Jackson TX. The Elders there receive a monthly recap of all funds received and expenses incurred. We do this so there is another reliable verification of where your funds are going. We can continue to do this work of feeding hungry people and helping those whose lives have been devastated by disasters only with the financial support of our brothers and sisters across the USA. You can donate online at www.disasterassistancecoc.com or make check payable to and mail to: Disaster Assistance CoC Mission 402 Center Way St Lake Jackson TX, 77566 “You must each decide in your heart how much to give and don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully and God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.” (2 Corinthians 9:7-8) Please pray for the thousands of people whose lives have been forever changed and for us as we show the love of the Lord to them by just providing a simple meal and a helping hand.
