Email from Koko...  "Just got back from the field.  The floods in some parts of Manila have receded much but, there are still parts in the east where the flood waters are still high.  I just came from our base for relief operations and saw care packages and clothes being prepared for delivery.  The teams working there led by Rolan and his wife Weng would have to swim to get the packages to the hands of the famished disciples!
Since yesterday, most of what we are doing is finding the disciples and delivering food, water and clothes for them to use. The number of disciples missing has increased to 10 and there's no way to contact them because there are still parts of the city that have no electricity and so the disciples may be unable to charge their cellphones.
We have a joint staff and Hope meeting tomorrow morning to have a better assessment on who needs help, what kind of help needed and overall status of our members and extent of damages incurred.  All these will be passed on to you and others by tomorrow afternoon.
Still, the faith of the disciples is strong!  We will be fine and we will weather this knowing that the Lord will never leave us and knowing that we have brothers and sisters all around the world who are praying for us and helping us in anyway they can.  We feel your support so much and feel so encouraged by all your love!  It was just announced that another storm is approaching so we need to prepare even more.  However, we do know that after the storm, comes the sun!

Love,

Koko

# of missing disciples increased from 10 to 78 but...

60 of the 78 missing disciples have been found, so...

keep praying for the other 18 to be found as well as the incredible needs of the church
