YWAM Mindanao, YWAM Cebu, RescueNet, and Vision Help International Care are preparing multiple teams to enter the area and begin relief work this weekend. YWAM is staging their teams in Cebu, Surigao, and Iloilo.

Romans 12:9-12 - Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honour. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
