I'm not sure if you have heard about the wild fires that are burning here in Victoria, but it is the worst series of bush fires on record. Actually, they are saying it's the worst natural disaster ever to hit Australia!
The fires are still blazing about an hour from where we live in Melbourne. We can see the haze here from all the smoke. It's been devastating for those involved. Currently, about 130 people have died, and many more are injured. Over 750 homes have been completely destroyed - along with entire towns - leaving over 5,000 people homeless.
The people here have done an amazing job helping out everyone in need. The citizens have already donated millions of dollars in support along with food and clothes. Several of our coworkers have gone out to participate in the volunteer firefighting effort as well.
It is a sad story - please pray for all the people involved.
