Notice on donations following Typhoon Morakot in Taiwan

>Released by Taiwan Church News

The Presbyterian Church in Taiwan (PCT) received several messages  from overseas

concerning the typhoon Morakot that struck Taiwan the weekend of  7-10 August 2009.

Please know the PCT is very grateful for your expressions of  concern. Initial reports and

investigations indicate the southern and eastern parts of the  country incurred most damage, in

particular Taitung and Pingtung counties.  As we know, some areas  had their equivalent of

one year’s rainfall in two days and the worst flooding  recorded in 50 years in Taiwan.

The PCT General Assembly is already active and involved in the  national disaster response

relief and rescue work and doing their part as best as they can.   We are coordinating with our

numerous Presbyteries setting up relief centers, phone help lines,  dropping stations for

>donations in kind and money.

We appreciate and welcome your financial support as you partner  with us in reaching out to

those affected by the storm with God’s love. For further  information on how you can help,

please visit PCT website at http://www.pct.org.tw/english/  and  click on "Typhoon" and then

"Giving and Supporting" .  Inquiries may also be directed to  gs@mail.pct.org.tw
