So many are asking the same question:
How do we give and how will you get help?
CrossWorld has a crisis relief fund at www.crossworld.org or if you prefer to know funds go to directly to us they can be sent to: David Schmid earthquake relief at CrossWorld, 10000 N. Oak Trafficway, Kansas City MO 64155.
We will be involved in the disbursement of the CrossWorld crisis relief funds too. CW has set up crisis relief funds before for Tropical storm Jeanne and Hurricane Hannah and drought conditions and they have been effective in being used as intended.
Banks are not working. CW is sending in first responders who will arrive with liquid – if you know what I mean. So either way it will get to us. So far people here are getting food and water.
Our part of the city though damaged is getting some water which is so helpful. No showers but at least a little for hygiene. An important need is making a water filtration system for immediate drinking water. Roger See is arriving on Thursday and he will be bringing supplies to get that set up.
My gallon of Clorox is getting very low and so I’m asking God to keep it filled. I know He can!It is hard to get news out every day. Our days are just so full.
Pray for safe arrival of trucks and aid missions as without a military escort they are in great danger.
David is going out later today to pick up a first responder and supplies that are coming in on MFI. I have prayed that the two trucks going out and back will be “invisible”.
A large dump truck is bring supplies from Judy and Manis and from the Robinsons. It is heavily loaded and coming over rough roads. Please pray for this truck, its drivers and its load to safely arrive with God's protection.
God is giving daily strength and I am so thankful. We receive so much encouragement from around the world. It is amazing.
Phyllis
