Flooded rivers, trapped residents test China's disaster response • FRANCE 24 English

From coping with dangerously swollen rivers to helping residents trapped in waterlogged cities, China's disaster-response systems are being put to the test after one of the strongest storms in years brought record rainfall that could take weeks to recede. Typhoon Doksuri battered northern China this week with extreme rain, breaking Beijing's 140-year rainfall record and dumping volumes of rain that normally fall in a whole year in the populous province of Hebei.

Luke 13. vs 2 & 4 ( Jesus speaking)
"Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered in this way? No I tell you; but unless ypu repent you
will all likewise perish. Or those eighteen on whom the tower of Siloam fell and killed them : do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? No I tell you; unless you repent, you will all likewise perish"
We are no better than those people in China even if we have already repented. At such a time as this we would do well to pray for these Chinese people who live in a country where the
Gospel has at many times been sugppressed.
