FedEx Plane Carrying Donated Relief
Supplies Lands in Philippines
Cebu City, Philippines:
Click here for photo slideshow on the
website
There is incredible excitement in the air
today, and on the ground, as the FedEx MD-11 filled with relief supplies
donated from Heart to Heart International and Direct Relief, landed in Cebu at
7:45am local time. The shipment, loaded in Los Angeles, U.S. with more than
200,000 pounds of relief supplies, flew directly to Cebu, the second largest
city in the Philippines, located just about 64 kilometers (40 miles) from some
of the hardest hit areas. While the distance doesn't seem far, it is over open
water. What makes this relief operation more challenging is that the
Philippines is comprised of 7,100 islands. Transportation between many of these
hard hit islands is currently by boat or helicopter only.
The FedEx plane was met on the ramp by
Central Visayas District Nazarene Disaster Response volunteers, and will be
moved to the Mactan Church of the Nazarene for staging.
WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS!
Pray for those throughout the area
devastated by Super Typhoon Yolanda, who will be receiving these supplies, that
they will see the hand of God and His incredible provision.
Pray for the medical team members from
Heart to Heart who are on the ground treating those in need.
Pray for our other Nazarene Disaster
Response volunteers who have been on the ground now into their third week. For
many, this is their fourth disaster deployment in the last 4 months. Some
haven't been home for more than a couple of days.
Check back frequently over the next 24
hours as we provide details of the clearance, overland movement, and staging of
this shipment. You can also follow more frequent updates on Facebook at: Asia
Pacific Nazarene or twitter: @APNazRegion.
11/27/13 Asia-Pacific Nazarene Facebook
Update: "Thank you so much to all of those who have participated in
bringing more than 200,000 pounds of relief supplies from the U.S. to those
devastated by Super Typhoon Yolanda. Heart to Heart International for the
generous donation, FedEx for providing the aircraft to transport the supplies
together with supplies for Charity Vision and Direct Relief, and for all of
those who have been making arrangements on the ground at the Philippine Field
Office, Central Visayas District, Philippine Relief and Development Services
(PHILRADS). This is what happens when great organizations and individuals like
you partner - we are much stronger together! Logistics are not easy. Getting
the supplies to Cebu (the staging area) is just the first part of the trip.
Tonight we will be loading trucks for the ferrys for 5 hour over-water
transport to the islands most devastated. WMC-AP will be on the ground in the
days ahead gathering the story as crisis counseling and nutritional support are
matched with the other ministries provided by Nazarene Compassionate Ministries
and Nazarene Disaster Response. Thank you for your continued prayers for the
safety of all involved.
