Pauline E-Mail – 3

Sunday, November 24, 1996 Charles Scobie

Worldwide Ministry

Pray
Tuesday, October 27, 2026 – In Nepal/China — A month ago, a breached dam led to the decimation of an entire valley in Nepal and in China (report). Fatality reports are in the thousands. Pray for people who have been displaced, injured or who are grieving. May they know Jesus loves them and sees their pain. Pray for each person who has lost loved ones, to be comforted by God and to know His hope, truth and strength. Keep holding them in your prayers, in the weeks and months to come.
