Vanuatu Cyclone Disaster

VANUATU CYCLONE DISASTER

Thousands of people are homeless after tropical cyclone Pam slammed into the

South Pacific nation of Vanuatu

Vanuatu is one of the world’s poorest countries

President Baldwin Lonsdale of Vanuatu says the disaster has wiped out all of the country’s development

80 per cent of the 277,000 population rely on subsistence farming to make a living

Besides destroying homes, roads and bridges, the storm hit crops and there

are now fears of food shortages

Our partner TEAR Fund New Zealand has staff on the ground helping survivors

Please pray for those mourning the loss of loved ones and for the swift recovery of people who are injured

PRAYER POINTS

Pray that people who have lost homes and are staying in evacuation centres will be able to start rebuilding soon

Pray that aid workers will be able to reach communities that have been cut-off by the cyclone

PRAYER POINTS

Ask the Lord to bless Tearfund partners with energy and resilience as they respond to the needs of so many in difficult circumstances

Pray that the church around the globe will take action on climate change to help protect the world's poorest people from more disasters like this
