Deadly Floods in Afghanistan Claim More Than 60 Lives – URGENT Help Needed
Deadly floods smashed regions of Afghanistan last week, according to our partners on the ground.
The capital city, Kabul, the Maidan Wardak, and Ghazni provinces have all seen massive torrents of flash floods destroying houses, wrecking crops, and killing livestock. According to unconfirmed reports on the ground, more than 60 people have lost their lives in the floods.
This comes at a time when the nation is still reeling from the economic disaster of the Taliban takeover. Afghanistan is suffering from war, drought, famine, and tyrannical Islamic rule. On top of that, they are now suffering from floods.
BTJ is sending emergency funding to our partners.
Help is urgently needed. To help with this effort please click below. 100% of all donated funds will be sent to Afghanistan to help the flood victims.
It’s raining here And there are many roads in our city that are flooding! Beijing has asked for people to stay home. Buses have stopped.
PLEASE PRAY for the elderly and people who have difficult circumstances as a result. Some have to be evacuated. Others remember a flash flooding that happened in 2012 that lost 79 lives.
It’s quiet amazing thought I get rain for two weeks in a row - as usually Beijing is hot and no rain all summer long!
And here is a video of how we are being affected 😂😂😂. Thinking of inviting the grandchildren for a splashing party! This is a sunroom upstairs in our house 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Here's the newest update from Torben.
This is encouraging - how Torben is living out his Christian faith in the prison. I'm thinking, how can I show more of God's love to people around me, to see and understand the needs, and be a help where I can? 🙏🏻
"It is more blessed to give than to receive". Acts. 20:35
@sarikorpi We serve an awesome God whose ways are not our ways!! I pray God anoint Torbin with His mighty Spirit and bring peace to him & his family! I pray many will be brought to salvation, joy and peace thru God’s Spirit! “ NOT BY MIGHT ,MOT BY POWER , BUT BY MY SPIRIT SAYS THE LORD” Zachariah 4:6
@davereimer Torben has sent a small greeting (not a video, just a writing) on YouTube for 23 hours ago. He's still in jail, now 1 year and 18 days, but he thanks God for His goodness. An inmate has just two days ago told Torben he's thanking God for sending Torben there. His life has been transformed, he will never be the same, and he says that the whole dorm is changed. So Torben says God is working on so many levels, but that also the fight is really still on. So he will come out with a longer update in a few days. He says: "Please keep all of this in your prayers, as everything is coming to an end and everything can happen at any moment now. Thank you for your love and support towards me and my family. God is moving, and He has a plan with all if this".
Pondering Ps. 9:7-8 today---
I'm so grateful to be on this side of the cross and the empty tomb, seeing Christ exalted as King and Head over all! David's concept of God in this Psalm was limited to God sitting enthroned only to judge the world. His concept was rooted in the law of Moses and according to the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil.
How blessed we are to see the contrast of Christ ruling today to save the world in mercy and grace! (Acts 5:31)
His is the throne of a loving Savior, not judgment.
What has God's intention been from eternity to eternity? To love and save the world, favoring fallen man with His grace and abundant, overflowing mercy!
Of course, the New Testament also reveals God's throne as the place of His authority and we know the day is coming when He will judge His own people and the world according to His righteousness. (II Tim 4:8)
@Williams_girl cool
It we ever do get the opportunity to come to the US I think we'll have to announce a tour to meet the people we've got to know over there 🙂 and announce it here first
Waiting for the crow to arrive!!!
The funds for an urgent project is stuck in transit.
Please pray for instant release of funds.

One seed traveled with a #BTJ volunteer, 1700 miles . It grew produced more seeds and keeps multiplying in this Buddhist neighborhood.
Our church flooded again😟
100 year floods 7 years apart…
@Berrybunchfamily that's great! I find experientially God does exactly what he says he would do in scripture, that is provide our needs because he had said he would, but it's a greater joy to see it and experience it with our own eyes.
I say that and now it's mine turn. We just had a accident where water overflowed and spilled through the floor down stairs into the below apartments. Oops 😬. We will have to pay so now pray for us! Thanks
Om a separate note could y'all pray for us?
Our car had a strange noise yesterday on the way home - from church. A breakdown service have said the rear brakes need replacing as a caliper (the noise we heard coming back from church) had stuck causing the brake pads to wear down to metal, which also damaged the rear brake discs
So we've cancelled all sorts of things for the next two weeks - when we then hope to be able to afford to pay for repairs at pay day.
Until then things are already beyond tight.

This is Teresa's health update.
The head physician told us that, from the point of view of her appearance, he sees her better, and this is no small detail.
More tests will be carried out in the coming days to better assess the situation.
For now we just have to wait and pray.
God bless you 🙏🙏🙏
Your brother Antonio ♥️♥️♥️
🙏 Updates on the health of my wife's mother whose name is Teresa. 🙏
A few minutes ago we spoke to a doctor and he told us that the situation is very complex and Anna's mother is in danger of dying. Only a miracle from God can save her as the doctors told us they have never seen such a situation.
I ask you to continue to pray for her. God bless you all. 🙏🙏🙏
