The Typhoon Morakot "brings Christian communities to Reschedule It was the worst typhoon in 50 years, the Taiwan had experienced, it told us a 72-year-old teacher who had the experience 50 years ago too. The media were filled with the rush of reports about its details, the number of deaths and ideas with what could have been done to this disaster better "control" with his victims.
many alleged to be annoyed about the slow pace, with the delivery of the rescue penalties (of course because the weather is not too different from left). It was no shortage of heroic tests, in spite of the impossible weather to save hundreds of lives by helicopter. This went on for so long until the first died in this impossible Flugverhätnissen. Clearly the President is to blame (The fact that he was responsible not just yet for the whole typhoon makes missing). - Had the anger and the anger of many in the mountain people and flooded towns in the south coast side end, the long wait without electric and water to help is beyond description and still do not abgeebt. -
With its huge mass of water, this typhoon is not only 49 tons of wood, including nearly a thousand trees precious wood, washed down with tremendous force from the mountains in the Pacific to the coasts of Taitung, several villages were buried under hundreds of tonnes of mud and in one case 390 its more than 1,400 residents and just.
Although the earthquake of 12 September 1999 more than 2,400 deaths, the number of deaths compared to the 126 victims of disaster Morakot still far exceeds the extent of the damage in the tens of billions more than that of the so-called "921" is. More than 23 modern bridges were unusable, pose several important roads in and were in the mountains down swept into the valleys, every road across the mountains and on the track came from a days-long rain of 1000 mm (1181 mm in Hsinfa station, Kaohsiung County, 1174 mm in Matouhan station, Chiayi County, 1163 mm in Majia station, Pingtung County, 1153.5 mm in Fenchihu, Chiayi County, 1151.5 mm in Hsiakuanshan, Kaohsiung County and 1147 mm in Shihpanlung in Chiayi County), but also up to 2,000 mm in some southern Pingtung counties on 8 August to complete halt.
The "Chinese Christian Evangelistic Association assists with 1,000 volunteers per day
Having previously adequate all around, or at least much rain was prayed that the disaster was perfect after so much rain in central and southern Taiwan. But in the midst of this changing situation, the question was to us how we can help Christian communities. The Chinese Christian Evangelistic Assocations, "our" daughter "of diaconal service, took up the challenge and created a tool: None, however, had reckoned with such a rush to aid volunteers, including from non-Christian Circles. Actually we were only up to 250 people, but every day they had up to 1000! - With Frog clothes or at least rain suit was partly distributed by boats partly by marching with food parcels, medicine and water. Other groups cleaned and disinfected completely covered by a mud and filthy homes and more took to the shocked and vulnerable people with other needs to. While Red Cross, Christian and other hospitals had sent their people, helped CCRA Christian and other volunteers with hand and help to tackle. Everyone had to contribute its part in connection. Alain's part was translating and publishing of reports on Internet, the missions and English media. 
The President said for everything that had been running quite right not to have to apologize to his government. This will not remove him, however, the further responsibility for the Weiterentwcklung the relief efforts. It is already clear that "heads to roll" need some. Meanwhile, relief operations are in full swing and the first Nothäuser already been flown into the mountains to build. Of the roads are repaired some time again that you can pass it and the east-west traffic through the main pass road in southern Taiwan, is on Friday the 21th August to resume its traffic. Since today has more normal Kaoshiung Water in its lines. - It will take three months be turned round to them all to normal life. To do that have lost loved ones or have been evacuated, and no cultivation land have more, because it has disappeared in the waters of a mountain stream, yet many questions remain unanswered. - One thing is certain, the time of helping has not yet stopped, but will take the form of various projects in other forms. Pray that there will be among them but even some who find this more in the presence of God, and like Job in the reverse experience great blessings. "Keep in prayer!" (Romans 12:12)
