About CAMA
“CAMA” stands for Compassion and Mercy Associates. CAMA provides a variety of relief and development ministries that flesh out the good news of God’s love for people—body and soul. This is accomplished through compassionate servants ministering to people in crisis situations through word and deed. CAMA began as an outreach to refugees fleeing the horrors of the Indochina conflict in 1972. Through camps in Thailand serving Vietnamese, Laotian and Cambodian refugees, CAMA staff provided food, clothing, medical care, job training and a verbal witness to the truth that God’s Son died and rose again. CAMA’s outreach meets the needs of the whole person—spiritual and physical. The lessons learned in Indochina were soon applied among refugees in hong Kong, Lebanon, Jordan and Guinea and famine victims in Burkina Faso and Mali. Development projects were started to empower the poor to live in hope. - Service

Notes
Indonesia Earthquake and Volcanic Eruption
4-47426
CAMA is responding to a 7.7 earthquake/tsunami off the West Coast of Indonesia and the eruption of Mt. Merapi in Central Java which occurred on October 25 and 26 respectively. The death toll from these disasters is in the hundreds, with thousands being displaced. CAMA and IM staff in Indonesia are safe, and are in contact with national church staff to determine the extent of the need and a plan of action. Reserve funds have been made available to begin relief efforts as necessary. A major appeal for funds will not be made unless the extent of damage warrants it.
Thank you for praying for CAMA and national church staff as they determine the best way to move forward.
