What is happening in BC is such a tragedy, and it is hard to imagine how challenging it is for the people living there. At House of Prayer Edmonton, where I am the Director, we are regularly in prayer for the people affected by the flooding in our prayer meetings, and I am very glad to hear that agencies like Samaritan's Purse are on the ground helping. We will continue to pray.
From a distance prayer is about the only thing we can do, including prayers of thankfulness that there are helping agencies such as Samaritan's Purse, Red Cross. But for the folks living in the flooding areas hope is in dikes and sandbags and bull dozers, etc. My niece lives on the edge of Sumas Prairie and she is being sustained by her neighbors, her church family, and all the local government people who seem to be doing a good job; and I suppose hoping that the rains will soon stop. No doubt her faith in God is helping too.
Don, Samaritan's Purse is in BC now bringing supplies, support and most important the hope and gospel of Jesus. Prayerfully, many will respond to the gift of hope and salvation Jesus came to give us.
The promise was for help to overcome problems caused by threats coming from other people. Now we have the 'messiah' to give us hope when others oppress us in some way. Where is the hope needed because of natural causes? The folks livng in southern BC would probably like to know.
