A woman who received shelter from Samaritan’s Purse also receives a Bible and prayer
Lloyd Abrenica works with the Samaritan’s Purse ministry team in the Philippines.
It was hot and sunny as I traveled to Santa Fe with a group of Bible distributors from Samaritan’s Purse. The task was to distribute a copy of the Bible in the local dialect to people who had received shelter from us.
As we arrived in Zone 1 of Santa Fe, I immediately noticed the Samaritan’s Purse tarpaulins. They could be seen in every household. If it wasn’t used as roofing, it was used as walls to cover their houses. The people of Santa Fe were largely affected by the devastation when Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines.
Samaritan’s Purse is following up with shelter beneficiaries and providing Bibles in the local dialect.
She told me how her house had been flattened by the typhoon. Until we came, they had no place to live. She told me Samaritan’s Purse came in and fulfilled a promise to help her.
She was also grateful to have received a copy of the Bible. She nodded in agreement when I said it’s important to also build our soul with the word of God. Before I left, I said a prayer for Teresita and her family.
