The floods have killed more than 27 people, and have left hundreds homeless and without electricity and food. The Kid's Ark Ministry has suffered from substantial damage. The buildings were badly damaged by the flash floods with the walls, foundations, and ceilings all needing repairs. Until these repairs are complete the buildings are not habitable. Kid's Ark provides education, medical support, and provides programs for people with disabilities in the Hera area. The loss of these buildings will badly affect their onsite operations. Australia Mercy is working with Kid's Ark to help with the repairs, which are likely to exceed $90,000. You can find out more about it on the Australian Mercy web-site, australianmercy.org.

These 1,600+ languages need to be translated to reach zero.” David Hamilton, Youth With A Mission. Over on the Frontier Missions web-site you can read many stories of how God is working in the nations through Youth With A Mission. One such story is about people who have no written language, and no Bible translation. There were a few believers in that group, and those believers did not have a way in their own language to speak about, and pray in their own mother tongue. The strength and power of praying to God in your own language is something that many of us take for granted, but one that many do not know how to do. There are over 1600 languages with no Scripture, and it is very much on God's heart to see Scripture in every language, and understood by every person. There are many ways that we can work to End Bible Poverty Now. You can read more about this story, and some of the ways that people are working to end Bible poverty over at ywamfm.org.
