Philippines Report on Aftermath
Extend our thanks from the Philippines SDB Conference to all those that
have generously prayed and sent contributions to help the victims of the
Typhoon Sendong which struck in mid-December. Mercifully, none of the
Seventh Day Baptist congregations reported great damage to their places of
worship and no actual members of the conference are reported lost in the
catastrophe. However, thousands in the area were devastated by the ravages
of the typhoon.
Al Paypa, a pastor and the leader of the Philippine SDB Conference,
visited the most distressed area to assess the initial needs and minister
with a portion of the funds they received from our conference. Because of
the donations, he was able to help six families who had lost everything to
meet basic needs like food and drinking water or to travel to relatives
that could continue to support them. About 600 USD went directly to help
with medical aid supplies for care of the injured in the Iligan City area.
With the remaining funds, about 103,000 Pilipino pesos (or $2,400), he
plans on returning with food, basic commodities, Bibles, and other
necessities and distributing them next week with a group of Christian
doctors conducting a medical mission for typhoon victims. We at the
Missionary Society appreciate Al Paypa’s detailed reporting and his as
well as other Seventh Day Baptist leaders’ commitment to ministering to
those in need and teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ unto every nation.
Typhoon Strikes Philippines Conf.
Entire villages were washed away as Sendong (Washi) pummeled south Philippines in the early hours of the Sabbath, leaving a trail of flattened homes, broken bridges and upended vehicles in the poverty-stricken country. In southern Mindanao, a region unaccustomed to typhoons, Sendong killed more than 1000 people in eight provinces. Rescuers are still searching for hundreds missing. Flash floods and landslides swept entire homes into rivers and out to sea.
Seventh Day Baptists have churches, members, and family members located in this area. You may have noticed in the Conference Services mailer a place for to give to the SDBDRF (SDB Disaster Relief Fund). If you have not already, please consider donating to the conference or to the Missionary Society to help in our united efforts to support our brothers and sisters in this time of crisis. And please, keep the victims and rescuers in your prayers.
One of our oldest conferences, the work in the Philippines includes the T.I.M.E. program for pastors, medical work, orphan support, and general Christian education. The pastors are dedicated and travel by many means to their churches. They hold vacation Bible schools and camps for the youth and Bible studies and prison outreach for adults.
The SDB Conference and Missionary Society are committed to seeing that together these funds are delivered quickly with accountability and to those that need it most. Donate button above

Uganda Report
(Revised Summary of Letters)
9/26 & 10/10/2011
Yours because of Calvary,
Daniel Nsubuga, General Secretary
Uganda Conference of SDB
Over the past 20 to 30 years the country of Uganda has gone through many divisive and devastating conditions. It ended a few years ago with a coup that placed the present government in control of the country. During those many years they had civil war the population of the country decimated. A large portion of the male population was killed during this war leaving the women to fend for themselves. This situation was not very good in that the women were not trained FOR EMPLOYMENT and many of them turned to remarriage as a solution. During the past 10 years they were faced another plague. HIV/Aids became rampant among the surviving population. So, between the war and the Aids epidemic many died. This resulted in many children left as orphans. Since the government could not help, the population, as a whole, supports these children. The children live on the streets and accept what little contributions for food and clothing that was provided by the community. They sleep where ever they can find safety and warmth.
