Prayer Letter from Secretary of General, Seung-ho Chung (Jan 10.2026, Sri Lanka)
Urgent Relief Efforts on the Frontlines
I ask for your urgent prayers for our mission field. For over a month, Sri Lanka has been devastated by relentless heavy rains. In the highlands, massive landslides have occurred, while the lowlands are submerged under severe flooding.
Homes, farmlands, and roads have been destroyed or washed away. Currently, more than 860 people are dead or missing, and over 250,000 survivors have lost their homes and become refugees.
The Kandy region, where our partner missionary serves, is facing a flood unprecedented in its thousand-year history. Furthermore, the mountainous Tamil villages—where the KAFHI (Korean American Food for the Hungry International) Sri Lanka branch operates—are experiencing a disaster not seen in a century. The local people are in a state of utter despair.
"The scene of the flood is even more devastating than the photos show."
"This is a photo of the toilet construction in the refugee camp."
In the affected areas, collective living conditions have led to an outbreak of waterborne diseases, including skin infections, severe colds, and diarrhea. To prevent further spread, the supply of clean water and sanitary toilets is absolutely critical. We are currently constructing toilets in tent villages and will soon begin work on wells.
Please pray for the following:
That through this process, God would open the hearts of the local people to hear the Gospel.
That the love of Jesus Christ would be clearly revealed through the relief work of KAFHI.
