Northern India is experiencing devastating floods. Pastor Athem Chothe is helping those in need through impact zone churches with which he works. Pastor Athem writes the following.
"The flood situation in Assam continued to remain grim with rising water levels of the Brahmaputra and Barak rivers inundating fresh areas in the state and impacting over 55 lakh people across 32 districts, officials said on Wednesday. Eighty-nine people have lost their lives since mid-May due to the two deluges, they said....
Among the worst-affected districts are Barpeta with 12,51,359 people reeling under the floodwaters, Dhubri with 5,94,708 and Darrang with 5,47,421, according to the bulletin.
The devastating floods, caused by incessant rainfall, affected 121 revenue circles and 5,577 villages, while 2,62,155 inmates have taken shelter in 862 relief camps, it said.
Relief materials were distributed from 825 delivery points among flood-hit people who have not taken shelters in the relief camps."
Initially, ORH will provide $2000 to help Pastor Athem purchase food, water, and other necessary relief supplies for those in need. Pray that many will hear the gospel because of Pastor Athem's efforts to relieve the suffering of his people.
