Last night our Bro. Jhade Estudillo of WIN Iligan died last night of leptospirosis. Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that causes jaundice, meningitis, liver and renal failure. Main cause of leptospirosis is ingestion or absorption of elements infected with rat's urine. Bro. Jhade was exposed to the elements during the flood while saving his family and neighbors. Let us continue to pray for Bro. Jhades family. WIN sent 10,000 pesos today to help his family.

This is Bro. Lando Pidor response to Bro. Babes Paulate's Christmas message. Bro. Lando is the senoir pastor of WIM Iligan.

 

 

Thank you so much Sir of this wonderful message you give. Life in Christ becomes more real when we as a family becomes more closer when we look and be willing to share our all! Prayers, resources and your call matters most to me Sir. It makes me more courageous to face this challenges that we WIN-Iligan Family, and Mindanao District faced. The tragedy of Sendong makes us more closer together as a family. I want to thank all our Global WIN-Family for all your support in Prayers and Monetary for Mindanao particularly ILIGAN and CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY. Your emails and text to me encourages a lot. We insist that our Christmas in WIN-Iligan would be as happy as it used to be in spite of the damage caused by Sendong to my family and our brethren. We continue to bless them every other day.

Merry Christmas!

God bless you Sir and Sis. Nickie
