We are sending Samaritan's Purse disaster relief specialists to Nepal to work with our partners on the ground and provide urgently needed relief supplies for suffering families hit hardest by the sudden landslide and catastrophic floods this week. We previously worked in this area after the 2015 earthquake there. We are preparing to distribute emergency food, as well as send an airlift with tarps, blankets, solar lights, hygiene kits, and more. Over 500 people are now confirmed dead, with more than 1,000 still missing. Pray for our teams, those suffering from this disaster, and the rescue workers searching the area for survivors.

I was saddened to hear that Dolly Parton died today. She was one of those rare Americans who everyone just seemed to like. She had 11 brothers and sisters, and they grew up in a one-bedroom log cabin in the mountains of Tennessee. She often talked about going to a small church where her grandfather preached, and she started singing hymns and playing guitar there at a very young age. I'm sure her family would appreciate your prayers.

Hymn sing has been postponed until a later time.
