&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Samaritan&#146;s Purse is providing small prefabricated houses
for hundreds of survivors of the August earthquake that rocked Turkey. Each of the
two-room houses can sleep six to eight people. These well-built units are a better
alternative than tents, given that the rainy season has begun and winter is approaching.
The houses are being manufactured in Turkey to minimize costs and support the local
economy.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The first group of these prefab houses is being set up in
Hamidiye, a mountaintop village that overlooks the devastated city of Izmit. The village
has been flooded with people who survived the collapse of apartment buildings in the city.
Hamidiye&#146;s population has swelled from 800 to more than 5,000. Families have taken in
their relatives, and some houses are crowded with more than 50 people.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Our team is working with a missions group based in the region to
identify the neediest families and provide Christian follow-up and counseling. Our support
will provide local believers with a strategic opportunity to show God&#146;s love to their
neighbors in need. <p><font size="5" color="#f14a00"><b>North American Disaster Relief</b></font><br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Back home, in the wake of Hurricane Floyd, we dispatched our
Disaster Relief Units to one of the hardest hit areas in eastern North Carolina. The
tractor-trailers, loaded with tools and emergency supplies, were accompanied by skilled
volunteers who work to clear debris, repair storm damage, and help victims put their lives
back in order.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hurricanes, earthquakes, wars, famines&#151;these tragedies are
opportunities to lift up Jesus Christ as the only One who can bring true healing and
peace. No matter how much good we do in this life, what matters most is helping people
find eternal life through faith in Christ.<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thank you for standing with us in the work God has called us to
do. Please continue to pray for our ministry as we work in desperate situations around the
world. May God bless you</td>
