October 1, 2009 – Thursday 10:09am (Eastern Time) – Titusville, FL – Report submitted by Joe Hurston (Air Mobile Joe)

There is so much going on! Last Saturday, the Philippines was struck by a devasting storm that killed hundreds (more likely thousands), millions have been displaced and now there is a Super Typhoon named Parma bearing down on them again. Meanwhile, 2 days ago, an 8.0 earthquake struck Samoa causing terrible damage and death. Several hours later a 7.8 quake hit Padang, Indonesia (Air Mobile has been there in actual earthquakes). Hundreds are dead and thousands are missing. All of these events have occured within the last few days. We are faced with the question, “What are you going to do?”. Often, the scope and magnitude is so far beyond us, yet…. we must do something. In all of these cataclysmic events, the number one need is water! No matter whether it be an earthquake, or tsunami or typhoon, the first and immediate need is clean water. That is where we come in. Air Mobile is blessed and able to get clean water to the point of need IMMEDIATELY! We currently have parts for 20 Voyager water purifiers. What we need is funding to purchase the remaining components to put them together and then get them to the “ground zero(s)” of the disasters. We are willing an able to go. We simply need funding and volunteers to help us get out the door and get the clean water flowing. Would you help?? Please pick up the phone and call us at: 321-544-7757 if you want to help. Here is an excerpt from a news story regarding this situation:

Philippines braces for second stronger typhoonREUTERS 10-1-09″By Nguyen Van Vinh Nguyen Van Vinh – 1 hr 57 mins ago HOI AN, Vietnam (Reuters) – Millions of people were battling on Thursday to cope with the aftermath of a typhoon that cut a destructive path through parts of Southeast Asia, killing 400, as an even stronger storm headed toward the Philippines. Government reports said 101 people had died in Vietnam and 18 were missing after typhoon Ketsana swept through the country late on Tuesday, affecting about 1.4 million people and damaging or submerging more than 350,000 houses. The typhoon left 11 dead in Cambodia, while the toll in the Philippines, where Ketsana struck last weekend, rose to 277. The Philippines placed soldiers and civilian emergency teams on the main island of Luzon on alert as an even more powerful super typhoon moved closer. Typhoon Parma was expected to make landfall near northeastern Quirino and Isabela provinces on Luzon by Saturday unless it changed direction. “It’s gathering strength into a category 5 typhoon,” chief weather forecaster Nathaniel Cruz told Reuters, adding it could be the one of the strongest typhoons to hit the country since November 2006 when Typhoon Durian left death and destruction in the central Philippines. “By Saturday afternoon, Parma could be packing center winds of more than 200 kph and could be weakened once it slams into the Cordillera mountain region in the north.” Gilberto Teodoro, head of the defense and disaster agencies, ordered troops to evacuate coastal and low-lying areas as well as landslide-prone areas in the northern Philippines.” Air Mobile is hoping to send Voyagers into the Philippines in the next 48 hours. Please pray about your involvement with this life saving project! God Bless You and remember the words of Jesus “I was thirsty and you gave me to drink” “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have done it to the least of these my brothers, you have done it unto me”.

Matthew 25:35 & 40.
