Nazarene Compassionate Ministries:
Helping Victims in Vanuatu
Cyclone Pam, a category-5 storm, left the island nation of Vanuatu in utter devastation after it made landfall late Friday, March 13. Eleven people have been confirmed dead, 30 people have been injured, and thousands have been displaced; and these numbers are expected to rise. Experts are predicting this storm will be known as one of the worst disasters the South Pacific region has ever seen. The Church of the Nazarene has 11 local churches in Vanuatu, including the church on the island of Tanna.
The majority of communication lines are still down, but Harmon Schmelzenbach, field strategy coordinator for the Melanesia South Pacific field, has reported, "The outer islands of Tanna and Aniwa, where we have church work, were also hit hard. At the present time, we know that at least two of our Nazarene Churches ... have been destroyed."
Schmelzenbach added, "Immediate needs are potable water, basic food, and shelter."
If you would like to help with relief efforts, please make checks out to KCFC with "Vanuatu Relief" in the memo line.
This week (March 27 - April 3)...

The study includes video presentations, interactive workbooks tailored for women and men, class conversations, and a unique opportunity to engage the material together... even if your spouse cannot attend the class!
