Here a few more pics Steve took while he was down in Bicol...
Power lines litter the roads and are draped over the houses. It will likely be months before they have electricity there. It looks like even when we move down in February, it will still be out then.
This hill is covered with coconut trees, but they wind has denuded them all of their branches. That is some incredibly powerful wind!
Massive power line poles just bent in half or broke in two like toothpicks.
The roads are debris-covered and barely passable. Steve said that there are some long sections of 2-lane highway that were covered entirely by the volcanic mud and there is only a one-lane ditch dug through the middle now to allow vehicles to pass. He was unable to get pics of the worst stretches because he could not stop along them.
You can see where the road here was washed out by the river. There was actually a squatter tenement in the center of this photo before the typhoon. There are no known survivors. Please continue in prayer for this area.

Please continue in prayer for this area. The devastation is complete, but we are confident that God will transform it into something good in the lives of many. Please pray that many lost souls will be saved as a result of this. Please pray that as we continue to reach out in that area by bringing relief goods and helping them get back on their feet that our efforts will have a lasting spiritual impact not just a temporal physical one.
