Teamwork made the dream work! |
Currently we are waiting for feedback from the team that has just arrived in Segamat. They are working with local leaders such as Ps Vincent of Calvary Homes and Ps Stephen Tah. We are also on the standby to response to other flood stricken area. Ps Steven Wong from Charisma Church just made a SOS call to help the Segamat famished villages. According to him, the 2011 Flood is the worst ever that hit Segamat. The Crisis Relief Store is running out of Food items, Mineral Water, Blankets and other essential items. Thank you for your kind attention and responses. May God bless you for your "Helping Hands."
