Bibles Destroyed as Bible League Manilla Office Deluged by Floods

In preparation of potential flooding from Tropical Storm Ketsana on Saturday 26 September, Bible League workers went to move Scriptures in our Bible League warehouse to higher ground. As they did, a wall of water came down the street and within minutes the Bible League office was under 2.5 metres of water. The whole ground floor was flooded which submerged the lower half of the warehouse and four vehicles.

Bibles, New Testaments and Project Philip and Church Planter materials (training resources) have been lost.

Bible League Australia’s CEO, Grahame Smith was on the ground, together with three Bible League supporters. The trip planned months ago, aimed to show these men the results of their financial support. Now, instead of just observing, their presence will be a great blessing to the local Filipino Christians.

The worst floods for decades in the Philippines,
thousands have been killed or displaced. Urgent prayer is needed for this nation as the process of recovery occurs, now that the waters are receding. Bible League-trained workers; locally trained Christians, will be reaching out providing help, comfort and prayer.
