Philippines is visited by a strongest typhoon last December 4, 2012\u00a0 packing maximum sustained winds of 140 knots (259 kilometers per hour), \u201cPablo<\/a>\u201d (international name Bopha).\u00a0 It\u2019s very painful to all people who have lost their homes, crops for their livelihood and above all lost the lives of their loved ones.<\/p>\n

In Loreto District, Loreto Agusan del Sur most of their farm products banana, rubber, palm oil, falcata were totally damaged.\u00a0 Three of our churches were totally wrecked.\u00a0 But churches who have solid foundations were slightly damaged. It\u2019s a blessing that in San Mariano SDA Church stand firm when \u201cPablo\u201d hit the area.\u00a0 All of the other denominational churches were totally smashed-down but our church stood firm facing the strong winds and rains.<\/p>\n

Mr. Sagarino, the deacon, went immediately to the church to open the door because the people were terrified.\u00a0 When he arrived, the church was already opened full of evacuees.\u00a0 He was surprised why it was opened when he is the keeper of the key.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0They believed that it was an angel who rescued the people in opening the door.\u00a0\u00a0 People flocked to our church\u00a0 because their houses, crops,\u00a0 were damaged.<\/p>\n

When Pablo tyhoon hit their place it was their scheduled-week of prayer meeting, their church were full because of the evacuees.\u00a0 Because of that scenario many listened to the word of God.<\/p>\n

In Sto. Tomas, Loreto Agusan del Sur\u00a0\u00a0 their church ventured to plant one (1) hectare corn for the church renovation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It was a miraculous scene when all of the neighboring cornfields, banana, rubber and etc. were destroyed and the project of the church remained firm in the midst of the Pablo storm.\u00a0\u00a0 Last December 10, they were able to harvest their corn.\u00a0 Praise the Lord for the great protection.<\/p>\n

In spite of the storm, they were thankful that it occurred during day time because they can notice the galvanized iron (GI) sheets roofing flew off\u00a0 by the strong winds.\u00a0 A backslider went out from his house \u00a0afraid that it will fall \u00a0down, but on his way a roof \u00a0carried by the strong wind hit him. Amazingly the galvanized iron folded it\u2019s on part and he was not badly\u00a0 hurt.\u00a0\u00a0 It gave him a message that he will go back to attend church worship because the Lord protected him in spite of his non-appearance to the church for more than 10 years.<\/p>\n

In Loreto District alone three churches were totally damaged.\u00a0 Our brethren can no longer joined together in worshiping God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
