Philippines Landslide

So a lot of people have been emailing or texting to find out if we are alright after hearing about the landslide. We are fine, first of all. The landslide occured on a different island. It is to the north of Mindanao which is the island we live on. http://www.infoplease.com/atlas/country/philippines.html
This is a map of the Philippines where you can see Mindanao and Davao which is where we live and Leyte Island which is where the landslide occured. They are now estimating that 1800 people died due to the landslide which is just about the whole population of the village that was affected by the landslide. Please keep these people in your prayers and their families.

Thanks for all your prayers for us as well. Please be praying for Eric as he is north of Manila with Crossfire Ministry until Feb. 27. Also pray for Tara as she is still in Davao.
