Pakistan Flood Relief

Posted on Thu, 26/08/2010

REsidents carry belongings through flood.jpgThe scale and impact of floods on the people of Pakistan is overwhelming. The total number of people affected is greater than 20 million (almost the population of Australia). The devastation and dislocation of people is unimaginable. 200,000 more are being evacuated from villages at the moment. Those assisting on the ground predict that there will be continuing dislocation over the next six to eight weeks requiring significant levels of emergency assistance, long before the process of rebuilding begins.

The Action by Churches Together Alliance response in Pakistan is reaching over 269,000 people. Children remain at high risk of disease. Sources quoted in Pakistan media say six million children have been affected by the floods with 2.7 million needing urgent, life-saving assistance. In addition, 3.5 million are at high risk of illness like diarrhoea and dysentery. Concerns about the spread of cholera have grown, particularly in areas where water is flowing only slowly.

There’s nothing quite like being engaged personally in mission to give you a story worth sharing! At the upcoming AGM you will have the opportunity to hear churches and individuals share regarding:
  • Short Term Mission experiences and opportunities
  • Briefing on new programs in Sudan
  • Ways churches can engage with Vietnam
  • Two churches tell their story of mission involvement

The Global Mission Partners Annual General Meeting will be held on Saturday 30 October at the Churches of Christ Theological College (CCTC), Mulgrave in Melbourne. The theme will be ‘Being in Global Mission’. The program will commence around 10:30am and feature stories from churches that are directly connecting with settings of global mission. Some of the new partnerships of GMP in Indonesia, Sudan and Vietnam have emerged as people and churches become directly involved in mission.
