The people of Bangladesh--including hundreds of our believers there--have been dealt another devastating blow and desperately need our prayers to sustain them.
Still recovering from the worst floods to hit their South Asian country in 30 years, Bangladesh was devastated by Cyclone Sidr on Thursday, leaving more than 2,000 people dead at last count. In some areas, 95 percent of the rice crop was destroyed. And for these simple farmers, that means they are literally penniless and without hope for the future.
That's why our GFA native missionaries are already on the scene, ministering to the victims and bringing them the hope found only in Jesus.
But even as our missionaries, pastors and Compassion Services volunteers are moving to bring help to the victims, they have reported that in one district, more than 100 homes of GFA-related church families have been destroyed by the Category 4 storm--the most destructive to hit Bangladesh in a decade.
"Many people are thought to have been killed when trees fell on their houses," reported one GFA observer.
I am asking that pastors around the world bring this situation to the attention of their church members on Sunday morning, and that all Christians will join me in praying that God's grace will be poured out on those who have lost so much.

Today I found out that my dad, Roger (of Glendale), has stage 3 lung cancer. I was hoping to have him included in your prayers. Please include my mom, Debbie. I'm an avid listener. Thank you for your show and your example.
