<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr"><div><strong>All CRCA churches are being asked (by way of this email) to consider giving their members an opportunity to respond to last Friday's destructive typhoon affecting so many people in central Philippines. World Development and Relief is suggesting that a "special" collection is organised next Sunday 24th November. We will most likely channel gifts through the Christian Reformed Churches of the Philippines or CRCNA's "World Concern". This is still being carefully considered, but at this moment we want to alert our members to the appeal, so they can respond appropriately and so that we can make sure gifts are sent as soon as practicable.</strong></div>

There are estimates that it could be the most damaging storm of the past century. WD&R is making an emergency appeal so that we also offer help in our Lord's name to so many suffering people in this land where there is so much poverty already. At this moment in time, we have not clarified exactly how our gifts will be distributed, but WD&R will closely follow our Synodically approved guidelines. Please give generously next <strong><u>Sunday 24th November</u></strong>. </font></span></p>
