We have been getting some questions about the natural disasters currently happening in this country. The word that we are getting is that 60% of the state of Queensland is under water. We live in the state of Queensland, but we are still experiencing a drought. North Queensland (approx 12-20 hours from here) has been having rain every day since Christmas - some days it is up to 7-8 inches. Please pray for this situation.
Down south in the state of Victoria (this is about a 2.5 hour flight from us) there are forest fires. The news we hear from them has been devastating. Many have lost their lives. A town called Maryville was completely vaporized. Unfortunately, this town has many close connections to our friends at church. Our pastor lived there and took care of a camp for kids...it is gone. This town has river walks, cute candy stores, business etc. It is all gone. Our friends have a friend who saw the fires coming and he jumped in a ditch to save his life; unfortunately, his wife and child died. This is so tragic. Please pray for our adopted country and our dear friends who are saddened by such great loss.

I have a good friend and customer whose family lives in Maryville. Their entire farm and home was wiped out by the fire.
