Natural Disasters

From our TSA Site: http://www.salvationarmy.org/ihq/www_sa.nsf

The Salvation Army Begins Response to South Pacific Tsunami
SALVATION Army officers and personnel from the New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga Territory are providing assistance to people evacuated to New Zealand from some of the communities affected by the tsunami that brought devastation to Samoa, American Samoa and Tonga. Plans are also under way to provide direct assistance in the affected areas.

The tsunami – triggered by a strong earthquake in the South Pacific – killed more than 100 people and forced many thousands from their homes. At least 77 people were reported dead in Samoa, more than 25 in American Samoa and at least six in Tonga.

Working in partnership with New Zealand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a Salvation Army emergency team based at Auckland International Airport is providing support for people being evacuated from Samoa. The support ranges from counselling to the provision of material necessities and the arrangement of accommodation.

The territory is also sending an assessment team to Samoa and American Samoa on Saturday 3 October with the remit of evaluating the ongoing level of assistance and support needed by the Government and communities of these islands. Once the assessment is completed and any gaps in the response have been identified with the Samoan Government and communities, a disaster recovery team will be sent with a range of skills to work in this phase of the response.

Territorial Commander Commissioner Donald Bell says: 'It is our intention also to set up personnel and processes in Apia, Western Samoa, to manage the allocation and use of donated funds.’

In planning its response The Salvation Army is working closely with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other agencies.

Will M

Please pray for Will, our Football Coach, who is currently suffering from a groin injury (sport related). May the Lord comfort Will during this difficult time and may His healing Hand be upon Him. May His Peace and strength envelops Will's mind, soul and body!

Youth Councils

From our Youth Secretary, Captain Raymond Erickson-King: "Youth Councils is just a few days away!! A lot of prayer and planning has gone into this special event for our youth and young adults. This year's them is entitled "Out Cry" that is based from Psalm 40:1, which says, "I waited patiently for the Lord. He turned to me and heard my cry." This week please keep this event in your prayers. Many make life-changing decisions in serving and living for God."

May the Lord bless this time as youth and young adults come together to focus on the Lord. May the Lord speak into each heart to change--to be more like Christ, or receive Christ for the firt time! May this mountain top experience be truly a life altering experience for each who comes. May the Lord guide each leader and give each the wisdom needed to connect and to plant the seed(s) of life (the knowledge of our Lord Jesus). Above all, may all leave Camp giving God all the Glory and honor for His Goodness and Grace!
