struck over 5.000 persons died in south Thailand, among them 544 Swedish. Over 220 000 died totally around the Indian Ocean. The suffering was enormous.No one of us like times of crises, but if we look back these times somehow, have made us stronger. Anna and I visited a Thai family today that shared how their deep crises brought them to God. Swedish Ambassador Lennart Linnér says that now, after 4 years, some 400 000 Swedish visits Thailand annually.
Unfortunate …... the last catastrophe has not hit. Without being “accident focused” it is helpful for us to ask: What will I do if a catastrophe hits in my surrounding? What is my own Disaster Risk Reduction? More and more people starts to build up an awarness for the need of Disaster Risk Reduction, before the catastrophe hits. It`s good that people seek more God’s help during time of crises, but it is much better to seek God’s help before the times of crises is over us. Ingvar
