  • Crisis Response Team assists Philippine Mennonite churches affected by typhoons
    PhilippinesPAGSANJAN, Philippines – A five-member Crisis Response Team sponsored by Eastern Mennonite Missions partnered with the Integrated Mennonite Churches of the Philippines from January 24-Feb. 5, 2010. The team was responding to a request for assistance following severe flooding caused by three back-to-back typhoons. Team members included Loren Bishop (leader), Michael Good, Justin Martin, Sarah Vojtasek, and Ben Siegrist. Michael Good shares this glimpse into their work.

    "Promise never to forget me!" The voice came from a sixth-grade Filipino girl with tears streaming down her face. Our team had just climbed into the van after another long day of work and play with the children.
