In the face of the numerous devastating stories that arose from the recent high floods in the state, they rolled up their sleeves and quickly assessed the extent and degree of damage, and came to the realisation that it was worse than anyone could have imagined.



They immediately swung to action by first committing themselves to a wide relief effort and set out to meet the affected people at their deepest moment of despair. They also brought with them some ray of hope for a better future.



According to Deacon Ken Pela, “I am very surprised that no proper plans were made in advance to cater for this flooding crisis.”




Deacon Ken Pela spoke to the press, saying that “there was an advance notice of this impending calamity, and we expected that the Emergency Support Agencies in the state would have been fully activated.
