Making a Difference in a Village Named Kallaar
In a large village called Kallaar where both Hindus and Moslems dwelt, the Independent Church's Gospel team decided to give out the survival items they had brought with them. At this desperate village, the smell of death was in the air. Hundreds of homeless survivors were mourning lost husbands, wives, children, mothers and fathers.

Many desperate children of all ages were now orphans, without parents or homes. The villagers estimated that two to three hundred were dead in this village alone. In places where their huts and homes once stood, the grieving village people had to bury their dead family members with their own hands.
|
Before the team distributed their survival items they shared some words of comfort to many desperate women waiting to hear any words of hope and prayed over them. As Pastor Britto and US missionary Kathy Smith prayed over the crowd, almost all of the hundreds of Moslem and Hindu women also bowed their heads during prayer to the true God in heaven, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Shortly after the prayer, the team handed out the blankets, bread and drinking water they had brought with them. The people were so happy to receive this charity to them.
