Severe Weather and Damage at Mission!
We received word yesterday, April 5, 2011, that there had been an extremely violent storm in Puttur, Andra Pradesh where Good Shepherd is located. The damage to buildings, trees, power, and water is quit severe. There appears to be extensive damage to trees and consequently to power lines. No one at the mission was hurt, although quit shaken.
We are encouraging our friends and the friends of Good Shepherd to consider making an extra gift to the mission for the purpose of repairs to the mission buildings and infrastructure. If you have any questions please call Wyatt Park Christian Church in St Joseph, MO. As always, 100 percent of all gifts will go directly to the misison. I will attach the email that I received from Henry. Pictures are below.
