An airlift is underway to bring critical relief supplies to Saipan and Tinian
These remote Mariana Islands were left without power and water after the strongest tropical cyclone of the year ripped through the region on Tuesday.
Power outages are expected to last for multiple weeks.
Please pray for a safe airlift, for those impacted by this powerful storm, and for many opportunities to share the love of Jesus with those who are hurting.

We are deeply saddened by the 7.3 magnitude earthquake that struck Vanuatu 🇻🇺 today. My thoughts are with everyone affected and their families during this challenging time. @WHO stands in solidarity with the Government of Vanuatu and is committed to supporting response efforts to address urgent health needs
The most wonderful time of year is also the most HECTIC. But you can handle it. We have confidence in you.
Set limits. Don’t overschedule. Take time for yourself. Leave time for joy this holiday season.
