Missionary Carlisle Hanna (April, 2012) "We had a really bad storm recently. Villages were wiped out. Some people who came to church here (Sonapur)for our Good Friday Service went back to their villages to find not a single house or even a leaf on a tree. Of course, not only our believers are suffering. They are cooking some rice and pulse for the people. This usually lasts for a day or two and then there is nothing...at least a hundred of our church families are left with nothing. Thanks for praying for those suffering."
