Hi all,

If you could pray for quick relief and safety of ppl in Asia affected by the tsunami/tidal waves, I'll greatly appreciate that. This natural disaster hits a little too close to home where I have family and friends (i.e Indonesia and Malaysia).

While the death toll in Malaysia is small as compared to Indonesia, I am quite worried coz my older brother lives in the Penang island that was affected the most in Malaysia (~50 ppl dead). Tremors were felt in the area of my own home but my parents are fine. This is quite awful; my home country has never been hit by this before and I have friends in Medan, Indonesia, which is terribly affected (~5,000 ppl dead). My brother is fine (just called home) but the situation of all affected areas is just nasty.

I feel really shocked and sad because this tragedy occurred during the worse times, the Christmas/New Year holidays and during fishing hours. The tourism industry in the countries is hit badly, affecting the economies.

In Sri Lanka, India and Thailand, the situation is probably far worse. Please pray for the situation there and that follow-up earthquakes do not occur. Thanks!

EDIT: My parents and brother: They're OK. But pls keep praying for Asia as a whole. Thanks!

Sure Mave. I'll be praying for them. Please let us know how your family and friends are when you hear.

yeesh... the geologists are saying that thing litterally shook the entire planet it was so big. You bet I'll be praying.

I'll pray

I'll pray as well.

Holy cow. I have a number of friends there. I'll see if I can get in touch with them.

I will definitely be praying for the situation and have been keeping a close eye on the news about it.

I was about to call you and see how you and your boyfriend's family had held up. I'm so thankful they are all right. ^__________^

It's been horrifying watching the news and seeing the devastation. We can't even begin to understand what is going in those peoples lives. Lord of Healing we lift our prayers up to you today.

What a nightmare. I could hardly believe it when I saw it in the paper this morning. We should all be in prayer for the people affected.

^_^I'll be praying tonight!

I read an article in the paper about this. That's so terrible. I'll gladly pray, but I'm glad that your brother and parents are better.

The situation is whole lot worse than I thought as I watch the death toll rise each hour due to unsanitary conditions (decomposing bodies in water and lack of food/basic necessities). Just watching the news is depressing. I'll add an additional prayer request to hopes that epidemics don't break out.

Thanks guys, your prayers are important!

I don't know anyone in malaysia, but I know someone who used to live there... Also in Thailand. Besides that, Southern India has been affected. I know someone in Andra Prakash, and I have some friends somewhere else in India, I'm not sure if they were affected...

Besides people we know, I read that it affected the Earth's rotation... That's not good no matter what...

I wanna go help... I don't know if I would be able to, though... I wonder if my base is sending anyone to one of the affected places... It would be a prime place to send the construction school graduates...

I've been praying as I read and watch updates in the news, and I'll certainly be continuing to do so.

I saw some of the devastation on the news...terrible. I'll pray for the dead and their families may they be comforted. And for the survivors may they be able to recover and continue their lives.

I have cried and cried over all of this death! The news said that if help doesn't get there, that the death may double from 60,000! So many people,gone and many not having a relationship with Jesus Christ! I have been and will continue to pray over this whole area. Did you know that the tsunamis also hit Eastern Africa? Luckily only a few died(ten, maybe less/more in the big cities), and some are missing. I personally have a place in my heart for that place in my heart and rejoice over that! I just have to find something good in all of this tragedy. The Lord IS Lord over all and maybe I think this will do something positive? Perhaps there will be a spiritual awakening in Asia. I pray that there will be, through the missionaries already there and all the help groups that are Christians. This makes you painfully aware of all those who need Jesus.

i saw this the other day its real sad. will pray

hey BlackDeath, she's on my LJ list too, heh.

the death toll has risen to 80,000 last I checked. this is so terrible. ; _ ; has there ever been a natural disaster this bad? o.o

the deathtoll has climbed over 100000 now apparently... and now a real scare of Malaria and Malaria-vaccine shortage is expected already for 2005... The US has already donated about 35-40 million dollars to this which sounds like a lot in comparison to other countries, but I personally don't think it's enough... we are capable of donating much more than that... but we can offer more prayer, which is worth more than any number of dollars.

As for the earth's rotation thing... meh. it's changed by making the year like .000008 of a second shorter or something like that. Interesting yes, but I don't think anyone'll be affected.

It's so sad! I wish there was some besides praying I could do to help. Anyone know of an organizations collecting money for it?

what I find disturbing is how some people on the internet find this tragedy to be an excuse to sit around and whine about how God is unjust. it makes me sick. ¬¬

i have and will keep praying for them

i am praying

if anyone wants me to send them a link with some pictures, just pm me, i found a site that has before and after satelite pictures
