Last week torrential rains and flash floods destroyed many cities in the south of our state Pernambuco, and Alagoas, a state below us. The churches here are mobilizing to help the population there. Literally entire small towns were wiped out. Several bridges connecting to these cities were also taken by the sudden flood. Talked to a lady tonight from one of the cities and she's suggested the possibility of human mistake: perhaps a dam's door was opened more than is should! People received warning to upcoming waters in within 3 hours, and it came.
Please pray that our efforts will reach out to those in despair.
