Last December 2021, Typhoon Odette (- also internationally known as Rai) hit the Philippines hard leaving widespread destruction. Last official report stated fatalities of 408 making it the second biggest number of fatalities among the world's natural disaster in 2021 (-second only to the August 14, 2021 Haiti Earthquake). It also damaged utilities and infrastructures, causing power outages and water shortages. And houses of worship were no exception. Above picture shows members of the Agusan Church rebuilding their church. The foundation provided supplemental funding through Pastor Merben Maglipac of Church So Blessed to help the rebuilding.
