Flooding in Camarines Norte

Nonstop rains in Camarines Norte caused rivers to over flow their banks. Peoples' houses were flooded. Water was everywhere, but there is no water to drink.A truck comes with a day's supply of water, but when? No one knows. So they wait all day in the rain. When water arrives but isn't enough, fighting breaks out among those who still have no water.A call came from Pastor Pabs, "Terry, can you help us? We need drinking water!" Terry gathered up water containers and bought purified water to fill them.
Ptr Pabs helped load up the car.Terry counted the containers with 350 liters of water.  That will last for a while.

Terry counted the containers--more than 350 liters of water. That should last a while. They picked up Ptr Tito and drove to Basud, Camarines Norte.

When the water arrived, faces beamed, "Oh, thank you, Lord!"
They were so grateful. "We won't have to wait in line today." Many helpful hands helped unload the car with the precious water.

Water was transferred from the large containers into smaller ones
to be distributed to family, fellow believers, and neighbors.

Everyone bowed in prayer as Ptr Tito thanked God for His life-giving water.

Folks smiled as they went home with containers of water.

Ptr Pabs' 93 year old mother repeated when her supply of water was delivered,
"God bless you! God bless you!"
