Relief Efforts for Fiji

Relief Efforts for Fiji 

Cyclone Winston hit the islands of Taveuni, Vanua Levu, and Viti Levu. This cyclone was a category 5 hurricane, which is the strongest on record to hit the Fiji Islands with sustained winds up to 185 miles an hour. Three congregations of the Lord’s church were in the direct path of this devastating hurricane: Nabowalu, Buca, and Vatudamu. Nabowalu and Vatudamu are right on the water with many of the brethren’s homes within yards of the water. Please keep these brethren in your prayers!

You are able to live your life in such a way that it can point beyond itself, encountering the love of God and sharing that love with the world.
