Urgent! Widespread Flooding in Brisbane

The news has been full of images and stories of the destructive flooding taking place in eastern Australia right now. The severe flooding is covering an area larger than the state of Texas and is directly affecting our churches and friends in Brisbane. Please check out this link for the newest article from NCN news:

Our own Logan Community Church of the Nazarene, with whom our team partners, is registered as an evacuation site and has been serving as a local council depot for supplies, and food. Please pray for all affected by this emergency and that the Lord would equip the churches to be a resource and source of hope to the communities around them.
