Pakistan Flood Relief's Page

Listen to Hans Finzel interview WorldVenture workers and Pakistanis in Pakistan: Pakistan has been devastated by what many are calling an unprecedented disaster. Monsoon rains of almost biblical proportions—some weather experts say a year's worth of rain fell in just one day!—have caused massive flooding throughout the country, killing many, destroying hundreds of thousands of homes and disrupting the lives of millions. According to the U.N., more people have been affected by this catastrophe than the 2005 Asia earthquake/Indian Ocean tsunami and the 2010 Haiti earthquake combined. Over 20 million Pakistanis are currently suffering from a lack of shelter, food and medical care—and, with the rains still falling and many crops along the Indus River already destroyed, widespread famine is becoming a real possibility. Whatever the reason, aid from other countries has also been slow in arriving.

WorldVenture has already committed thousands of dollars to flood relief efforts, which are centered in and around Shikarpur, a city 18 miles from the Indus River in Sindh province, where the organization operates a hospital. Despite incredibly difficult circumstances, our medical personnel and associates in Pakistan are working overtime to provide food and medical treatment to as many people as possible. But the situation is overwhelming, and the need for additional food, medicine and medical workers remains dire. Please pray for a break in the monsoon rains, that God will multiply the "loaves and fishes" being provided to the Pakistani people and for strength for our medical personnel and aid workers, who are working so hard to alleviate the pain and suffering. And, please consider a sacrificial gift today to our Pakistan Relief Fund, so that WorldVenture can continue to provide help and hope to the hurting people of Pakistan.
