It's interesting what shows up on CNN in a given news cycle. How many of you were aware of the scope of the floods that hit Pakistan this past week? I found a link somewhere after Chelsea Clinton's wedding and Congressman Rangel's ethics problems. Pastor Augustine Joseph of Disciple Union Ministries sent some pictures and wrote most of the following report:

More than a million of people have been affected by the floods in the country's northwestern sector.

The flood also left hundreds missing and over 800 dead.

The Northwest has been hit the hardest with the worst flooding since 1929. The flood has destroyed many bridges and shut down the highway connecting Peshawar to the capital, Islamabad.

Rescue teams are trying to help thousands of flood victims as some 400,000 people remain stranded in far-flung villages.

 A man identified as Charsadda said that his whole village had been forced to spend the night by the roadside. "We have lost everything," he said. "Nothing is left."

 Pakistan has appealed to international organizations to help the county deal with its worst flood in the past 81 years.

The sad thing is that the most of the Christian community live in
villages and flood areas. Please keep our poor people in your prayers
for safety and provision.
