💔 Our hearts are with Mindanao, Philippines
On the morning of June 8, 2026, just as children were returning to school after the summer break, a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck offshore near Mindanao. In a matter of moments, lives were changed forever.
At least 37 have lost their lives, 487 injured and many are still missing. Homes, schools, and hospitals have been damaged, while power outages and broken communications have left communities struggling to stay connected. Roads and bridges have been disrupted, making it difficult for help to reach those in need.
Mindanao is home to around 26 million people—families, children, and communities now facing fear, loss, and uncertainty.
We are thankful that OM team members in the Philippines are safe. They are currently assessing needs about how to respond. At this time, the team has enough funding available for their plans.
🙏 Please join us in prayer:
For those still missing, that they may be found
For comfort for families who have lost loved ones
For peace for those shaken by this disaster
For wisdom and strength for emergency responders and relief teams
