Hurricane Ike – The Forgotten Storm of 2008
Hurricane Ike, September 2008, was the third most destructive hurricane to make landfall in the United States. This storm that struck the Texas coast was overlooked by the media due to coverage of the 2008 presidential election and news of economic decline.
Videos are available to share with your congregation, encouraging them to help families impacted by Hurricane Ike through prayer, giving, and volunteering. One-minute and five-minute segments are available on DVD. Order your copy of Hurricane Ike: The Forgotten Storm (one minute or five minute segment.)

Democratic Republic of Congo
In the DRC, the agricultural livelihood of the rural population has been threatened by 10 years of war. In 2005, PDA began a four-year food security program in cooperation with the Foods Resource Bank. PDA is also supporting 19 supplementary feeding centers serving malnourished and AIDS-orphaned children.
A new Bible study curriculum, Around the Moringa Tree, is soon to be released.
