Introduction To bandsministries.blogspot.com

Welcome to BandS Blogspot.

After creating our Web Site we recognized that we needed an easy way to keep you informed about our work and travels. Keeping the web up to date is not an easy task, so we settled on the blog. Hope you will come here often and see what we are doing by the grace of God and the generosity of kind hearted people.

Our most recent activity is providing funds for the victims of the typhoon that hit the Philippines. Over 1200 were killed and one million left homeless. We have already begun the task of feeding those who have suffered loss. Many have responded to this and we have been able to wire money to the workers there. The most urgent needs have been medical supplies, food & water and clothing. Today a group of doctors and workers will begin working there. This work will have to continue for sometime because of the large number of people affected.

BandS pays for the money transfer, so all of your contribution goes to the work there. They have use of the money within 3 or 4 days of our sending it.

BandS will lead a group to the Philippines in January 2007. I will visit the site while I am in the Philippines.

A good place to go for photographs of the devastation: www.rambocam.com
