Mudslide on the Island of Leyte

I was on the Island of Leyte at Ormoc several moths ago, speaking at a conference of about 140 Foursquare Pastors and leaders. I made many new friends there.

So when I heard about the mudslides that took more than 1,500 lives I was deeply concerned. Since then I’ve had other conversations with neighboring pastors both in our community, and in the Philippines about the pressing need to help the families of the victims. We wanted to assist them physically, as well as spiritually.

On Sunday, our church gave generously enabling us to send a cheque to the Foursquare Gospel Churches of Leyte to oversee the distribution of help. We have also been asked to be a clearing house for those in the greater Vancouver area who to give aid to the victims of the slide.

You can send cheques, marked LEYTE, to Northside Church at:

1477 Lougheed Highway
Port Coquitlam, British Columbia
V3B 7M6

Phone: 604-942-7711

You will be receipted for your gift and 100% of the money will go directly to those in need in Leyte.

Thank you for your love.
