DISASTER RELIEF FOR SAINTS IN THE PHILIPPINES Many of the Saints in the Philippines are in need of emergency funding for disaster relief. The island of Mindanao has had unusually high amounts of rain this season causing a great deal of flooding in the lowlands and landslides in higher areas. Over 40 farms were an 100% loss due to flooding and landslides. Another 12 farms had about 50% losses. Their farms are not only a source of income, but also a source of food for their families. Money for replanting and fertilizer, as well as living expenses will be needed until their first crop harvest. Four homes were also a total loss, with many other houses needing repairs in three different villages: Kamaka, Nasarayan, and Masalagpok. Brother Dan Brotherton and Brother Frank VanFleet, from the AAIM Board, will be traveling back to the Philippines in late March or early April to deliver the assistance funds to our members that have suffered such tragic loss. If you would like to contribute to the assistance in the Philippines, that would be a tremendous blessing to the Saints there. There is a confidential donor that is willing to match any contributions made, thereby doubling your efforts. In addition, all donations will be tax deductible. If you would like to donate by check, please make it out to AAIM and write disaster relief in the notes, and give your check to Deanne Murnieks who is the AAIM Board Secretary. Or you can mail it to her at her address: 186 SW Roosevelt Ridge, Lees Summit, MO 64081. If you would like to contribute electronically, you can send it to Deanne’s Venmo: @Deanne-Murnieks, with the note: AAIM disaster relief, and it will be transferred to the AAIM account for you. All who donate will receive a receipt for tax purposes. Thank you for considering the needs of the Saints.
