Keep praying for all the people affected by the typhoon. There are many families grieving the loss of loved ones, communities trying to rebuild........


Typhoon Fengshen has left many homeless and caused a lot of damage nationwide and submerged entire communities.

The Princess of the Stars was carrying more than 800 passengers and crew when it capsized after being battered by huge waves caused by the typhoon Fengshen.

Typhoon Fengshen (Frank)

Pray for the people being affected by the typhoon that hit early this morning. Reports so far are that 12 people have lost their lives due to the storm and flooding.

We are not in the path of the typhoon but are experiencing unusually windy, cool weather and gray skies. Our work had planned a snorkeling boat trip for today but due to rough seas and threatening rain storms all boating has been cancelled.
