When Cyclone Mahasen struck Bangladesh, it left in its wake shattered homes and lives. Yet many are finding a reason to be thankful in the midst of the destruction—it could have been so much worse. Cyclone Mahasen was on a track to take it crashing into the shore of the Arakan region of Myanmar (Burma), into the shacks of more than 100,000 Rohingya refugees who lived there. They would have faced nearly death. But hours before the cyclone was scheduled to strike, it changed direction and weakened. By the time it struck Bangladesh, it was half of the size it had been formerly. Still, though many residents of Bangladesh were evacuated ahead of the storm, the damage is still quite severe, and one that will be very difficult for one of the poorest countries in Southeast Asia. Please pray for all the victims and their families, and pray that those who have been given a second chance at life will discover true life in Jesus Christ.
