Dear family,
As you would have heard by now, many places in Santa Rosa and Napa are being swallowed up by several wildfires. More than 10 people have been killed, and about 20,000 people have been evacuated from the area.  Among them are many of our Alliance church family.

I just got the news from our district that two of our church planters that we work closely with lost their homes.  One of them is Jon Maves who has always worked with our church to host our retreats at Alliance Redwood Camp Ground.

This is a serious time and God is calling our attention almost on a weekly basis.  Starting with Hurricane Harvey, Irma, Maria, fires in LA, CO, OR, then Las Vegas last week, followed by this raging fire…. As I was typing this email, I just felt the ground of San Jose shaking with another earthquake.

Will you please gather your children, friends, and family to pray? Especially,
tomorrow night as you gather to build your family altar, this is a good time to talk with your children about the recent events, not to scare them, but to remind them of our need of God’s mercy.  Pray for a spiritual awakening in our nation.

Blessings,

Ted Kang
