PRAYERS FOR DIOCESE of CUTTACK: Your ongoing prayers are requested for the people of Puri and surrounding areas of the Diocese of Cuttack which have suffered so through the devastation caused by Cyclone Fani. Many of you have seen pictures and heard me speak of friends in that area, of the school for slum children, and of the coastal villages where people live right on the shoreline. Reports coming out of the area are slow because of the destruction of electricity and internet cabling, but brief messages have indicated severe damage. Thank you for your prayers. Deborah.
