ICDM: Hurricane Relief

0 comments
ICDM BRINGS HOPE AFTER THE PASSAGE OF HURRICANE FIONA IN THE REPUBLIC DOMINICAN & HAITI.

The Situation
Fiona, considered by many as the first hurricane to directly impact the Island since the hurricane Jeanne in 2004, left behind considerable damage in the two neighboring Republics. Especially in Dominican Republic, the rains, and winds brought by Fiona produced landslides, fallen bridges, road blockages, and power outages. 

It is reported that twelve provinces in total have suffered the most damage because of the impact of Hurricane Fiona. The hurricane affected many homes, destroyed many others, killed people, and displaced over 12,000 people. In consequence, the government declared the provinces affected in a state of emergency. The damages in the affected sectors left 406,539 people without electricity and 1,174,637 without water. Humanitarian organizations reported that 1,176,032 people of whom 666,856 are children and adolescents are at risk.
Plan to Help
ICDM as a missionary organization always that has ministered to most vulnerable cannot fold its arms without showing compassions towards the population in general and especially, our sisters and brothers. We plan to bring relief to 3,000 people living in the villages where our Bible Schools and churches are located. 

Pastor Robinson Jeudy, one of our ministerial partners, leads churches in La Romana, Higuey, and Boca Chica said clean waters, food, shelters, health kits, diapers for children, school bags, and cash money are the real needs of the people in this time.
 
ICDM is calling upon its partners in the world, especially in the USA, to join our efforts to bring relief to our sisters and brothers in the DR and Haiti. We know many American eyes and hearts are focused on the devastation wrought by Hurricane Ian, and rightfully so. But please don’t forget our brothers and sisters in Haiti and the DR who do not have FEMA or governmental help during their recovery. In many cases, the church is their only hope, and we are the church together.
