From my colleagues in Mozambique:
Cylone
Idai hit Beira during the night of 14th to 15th March bringing widespread
devastation to the city and wider region. Reports indicate that about 90%
of the buildings and infrastructure has been adversely affected in Beira, the
second largest city in Mozambique. While the cyclone ravaged all in its
path and left most of the region under water, the sheer amounts of rainfall
further inland as far as Zimbabwe has compounded the situation. This
natural disaster has led to a huge humanitarian crisis with a raising death
toll by the day.
We
appeal for prayer for the estimated 1.7 million Mozambicans that have been
directly affected. Pray also for those also affected in Zimbabwe and
Malawi.

Mission ministries and missionaries are based further south in Maputo (1000km)
and have not been affected by the cyclone. In terms of those directly
related to us, members of a church in Mopeia, Zambezia province lost their
homes, belongings and crops. We are preparing to respond in solidarity
with those affected. We intend to join forces with mission partners in
the region to offer relief and support for the rebuilding of peoples lives in
the worst affected areas. All donations to OMS Mozambique Disaster Relief
# 402600 are greatly appreciated. Pray that doors would open for the gospel to
be shared in Word and deed by Christians locally and globally. Colossians 4
v 3.
