I have contacted several home churches in the Newcastle area and all are ok. Some have had quite a battering of course and one man was caught in his car and eventually escaped with difficulty and able to scramble to higher ground. He has lost his car. Main prayer points -
Thanksgiving that all are safe and well. ‘Things’ can be replaced!
Pray that the trauma will lift from them and the peace of the Lord Jesus will be very real for them.
Pray for guidance that the witness of the people of God at such a time will be seen by the townspeople.
