Queensland needs help

Queensland is a beautiful state in Australia. 


Where blue skies and sunny days rule. 
Where the white sandy beaches beckon locals and tourist alike.
Where the stereotypical Australian laid-back nature and care of others is commonplace.  


Much of Queensland is in a very different position tonight.
It is now a place where homes are fully submerged.
Where cars are piled against each other and buildings have become floating missiles down the swollen river.
Where roads are now rivers, and high hills, islands.
Where people have lost their lives.
Where many are missing, and many will not be found, after being caught up in floodwaters or being isolated.








It's all over the television.
It's all over the radio.
It's all over the newspapers.
It's too terrible to think about.


But we do have to think about it because people are in serious trouble. 
The ramifications of this flood will be long term.


We are making a donation, like so many other Australians, to the Premier’s Flood Relief Appeal. You can too. There is provision for Australian and International donors.


And you can pray for those in the thick of it.
For those who have lost their loved ones and their homes. 
May we never fully understand their burden.
