For several days now, the rain has continued to pour, affecting many families and homes around us. And once again, our church was not spared.
The flood has entered our church building again.
Honestly, this is not a new problem.
Since the roads around our church were improved and raised by the government, our church floor has been left about two feet lower than the road outside. For years, we have been dealing with the flooding by doing temporary fixes—adding layers, adjusting entrances, and finding ways to keep the water out whenever the rainy season comes.
And for a while, those solutions helped.
But things around us are changing.
Many of the houses surrounding the church are also being raised by adding soil and filling their properties because they are experiencing flooding too. As the surrounding areas become higher, our church is being left even lower.
What used to be a temporary flooding problem is now becoming a much bigger structural concern.
Our church floor now needs to be raised.
The usual remedies we have relied on over the past years are no longer enough. Because the church is becoming one of the lowest points in the area, it is starting to function like a catch basin, where rainwater naturally collects.
We know that raising the church floor will not be a small project. It will require planning, resources, time, and many helping hands.
But we are not sharing this because we have lost hope.
We are sharing this because we believe it is time to face the problem properly—not just patch it up every year, but work toward a lasting solution.
This is the place where we gather to worship, pray, grow, and serve our community. And even when the building is affected, the mission continues.
We will clean.
We will repair.
We will find a way forward.
And we will keep serving.
Because the rain may come, the waters may rise, and circumstances may change—but God remains faithful.
Please pray with us—for the families affected by the floods, for our community, and for the future of our church building.
Still here. Still serving. Still believing. 🤍🙏🏼
