Love in Action

Mozambique

Extending Master’s Love during Floods
By Johannesburg News Group (Originally in English)

The overflowing Pungue River caused severe flooding in central Mozambique, where water, in some areas, rose above the six-meter alert level. On January 26, 2009, our Association members from Johannesburg, South Africa traveled around 2,000 km to the most serious flood-stricken area of Beira in Sofala Province. They were warmly welcomed by members of the World Food Programme (WFP) and the National Disaster Management Institute - INGC (Instituto Nacional de Gestão de Calamidades), who informed them about the situation and the people’s needs. When they visited Tica and Dondo, other areas that had been affected, they found the situation to be more or less under control. With Master’s loving financial contribution and the helpful assistance of the INGC, they purchased US$9,622 worth of food and basic necessities for the people most affected by the flooding in Sofala Province, Mozambique. They also took the opportunity to hand out SOS flyers and Master’s sample booklets in Portuguese, which were eagerly received by the recipients. May God’s love reach deep into the hearts of the local people and awaken them to a new compassionate vegan lifestyle to avoid such disasters in the future.
