Standing with Madagascar
Cyclone Gezani Impacts Thousands
This week, a powerful cyclone tore across Madagascar, claiming lives, displacing families, and leaving widespread destruction in its wake. Communities already facing economic hardship are now confronting damaged homes, flooded villages, destroyed crops, and limited access to clean water.
Baptist World Aid has mobilized an immediate response in partnership with trusted local Baptist leaders and the All Africa Baptist Fellowship. Together, we are assessing urgent needs and providing pastoral care to those who have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. Members of the BWAid Team are on the ground making a difference in the immediate aftermath of this disaster and in equipping leaders with long-term disaster response training.
– Baptists One in Prayer –
Please unite in prayer for the following.
- For the families who have lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. Pray they would experience God’s comfort, provision, and peace in the midst of grief and uncertainty.
- For safe shelter, clean water, food, and medical care to reach affected communities quickly and efficiently.
- For Baptist World Aid team members, All Africa Baptist Fellowship leaders, and local Baptist ministers and members as they assess damage, coordinate relief efforts, and provide pastoral care. Pray they would have wisdom, strength, and protection.
- For children and vulnerable individuals impacted by the cyclone. Pray they would be safeguarded from further harm and surrounded by compassionate support.
- For long-term recovery and rebuilding. Pray that communities would not only be restored physically but strengthened spiritually through the hope of Christ.
