Siki's Family Loses All

The heavy rains rushed wildly from highlands and mountains ranges showing no mercy to villages located along rivers and seashores. Siki, one of the Fijian young men on CEF staff, is burdened and concerned for his family back in the village about 4 hours from Lautoka where we live.

Siki's family home has been destroyed by flood waters. As much as 8 feet of water filled the house rising up to the ceiling of their village home. What took a lifetime to gather has now been washed away or destroyed by five days of heavy rains. His family is currently housed in an emergency evacuation center set up by the government and it will be days or weeks before they'll be able to return to their village to see what was spared. Pray for Siki, his parents, two younger brothers and little sister as they deal with their devastating losses. His parents know the Lord and ask for God's people to pray for them.
