Samoan Tsunami, devastating news, please pray!

Hey guys, I've been doing really bad at the whole having a blog thing lately as my schedule has gotten really full with trying to provide care for my dying neighbor. Ironically that's not the really bad news.
My children's God-parents, Josh and Sara currently live in New Zealand, but Josh is of Samoan decent. I'm sure most of you have by now heard about the Tsunami that has ravaged the Samoan islands, and sadly it has devastated his family.

He has lost 10 family members so far including his Grandfather, Aunties, Cousins, some of who were just babies... And there are still others unaccounted for. One of the horrible stories of his cousin Sina, losing her three children is told Here...


Josh rushed to the airport with his father Ben last night in hopes of getting to their families resort pictured here.
With most of the roads believing to be inaccessible they were prepared to hike through the jungle, very steep terrain to get to his family's village. Some how they managed to make it there late last night, how we're not sure.
Josh sent a text to Sara saying "Power to the whole district is out and it feels like a ghost town. Houses destroyed everywhere. There's nothing left. Nothing left, no houses. I can't believe there are any survivors." I guess all I can say is please pray for Josh and Ben and the Tafua family... Nahum 1:7 came to mind (thanks In 'N Out) It says : "The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him."

Please pray that Josh and Ben wouldn't lean on their own understanding, but that they would trust in God look to Him for thier comfort and help. Thanks so much
