Pray for PNG

As many of you will have read on the news that PNG has suffered a couple of earthquakes in the last week or so devastating many communities and many people have lost their lives.  The following link will give you an idea of how our PNG programme is involved in the relief efforts.

it's raining cats and dogs and more

This past week we have seen an incredible amount of rainfall.  The photos below will give you an idea of what it is like.  It has continued to rain through the night and it is still raining.  Pray for those that have been greatly affected by all the flooding.  Some cars have just been washed away and towns have been cut off.

Outside the office yesterday as the waters continued to rise.  Some of the cars were moved to a bit higher ground.  The water got higher than what is displayed in these photos.  By the time I left the water was up to my knees before I got in the car.

No walk for the dog in the park this evening.  It is more like a lake.

On the way back from school yesterday.  Simon said when he was driving by later that evening and people were out in boats and rubber tyres enjoying the recreational side of it all.

Zara checking out the path we normally use to cross the wee creek.  The path had disappeared further down and no chance of crossing to the other side.

No access this way either...

This morning I was driving back from Cairns and within two hours the bridge was covered and the road closed.  

No grass or road left.  It is just one big river!
