He told me how he&rsquo;d been separated from his wife and children in the chaos of <a href=\"\/disaster-relief-news-stories\/world-vision-responding-typhoon-haiyan-devastation-philippines\">Typhoon Haiyan<\/a>. He hadn&rsquo;t seen them in hours after the storm. Here was a 27-year-old man begging for the Lord&rsquo;s mercy. He worried that his wife and children were among the bodies I&rsquo;d seen cast alongside the road on a horrific journey to Tacloban.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ve been everywhere to look for my two children, my wife, and my mother, but I can&rsquo;t find them,&rdquo; he told me while gasping between sobs.<\/p>\n<p>It was a scene of absolute misery. I was crushed, my heart torn as I took in his situation: a young man the same age as me who had seemed to have lost everything. As he huddled on an empty bag beside an uprooted tree, I shared a few of my biscuits and some of my water, just to help him fill his hungry stomach.<\/p>\n<p>As he started eating the biscuit, I stood up to leave. But before I walked again, a little voice told me to spend one more moment with Patrick.<\/p>\n<p>I asked him if we could pray together. He said yes. We covered our hands on top of each other and embarked on a <a href=\"\/tags\/prayer\">prayer<\/a> that left us both in tears.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Lord, I know what we gave him is not enough, but please give him comfort and his family. Help him find his mother, wife, and two little children,&rdquo; I prayed.<\/p>\n<p>It was all I could offer before I continued with our assessment team in <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.worldvision.org\/content\/memories-tacloban\">Tacloban<\/a>. For the rest of the day, I encountered more and more bodies. I witnessed people sobbing and grew more devastated by all the destruction.<\/p>\n<p>When I left Tacloban a few days later, and World Vision began providing disaster relief assistance to the thousands of survivors, I often remembered Patrick&rsquo;s situation.<\/p>\n<p>To me, he was the face of the <a href=\"\/tags\/natural-disasters\">disaster<\/a> &mdash; and I continued to pray for him. Soon after, I urged my friends and family to pray for Patrick as well. I posted his photo and story on Facebook and asked for prayers for him as he searched his family. I asked for prayers to give him strength and courage and all for all the typhoon survivors who have the same story as Patrick.<\/p>\n<p>As time wore on, and the weeks unfolded after Haiyan, I started to think less about Patrick and his family.<br>\nBut then one Sunday, almost three months after Typhoon Haiyan, I was sent back to Tacloban.<\/p>\n<p>As the plane landed, I felt goosebumps. The experience of walking through and over the debris and bodies two days after Typhoon Haiyan vividly returned to me. I continued with my work, but the experience was never far from me.<\/p>\n<p>A day later, along with a teammate, I rolled into a local eatery for a late lunch. As I ate chicken curry I looked up and caught a familiar face. It was Patrick. He was working as a server at the small restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>A lump swelled in my throat. He smiled widely and took a seat at our table. &ldquo;By God&rsquo;s grace, I found my family, and they are safe. Our prayer was answered, ma&rsquo;am,&rdquo; he told me.<\/p>\n<p>My heart sang. I was overjoyed.<\/p>\n<p>I was trying to control my tears. I am amazed and still overwhelmed at how God revealed how powerful he is.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_31172\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-31172\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-31172 lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"After Typhoon Haiyan devastated the Philippines in 2014, World Vision staff member Maryann Zamora witnessed an answered prayer for Patrick, a young father of two.\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/01\/In-the-aftermath-of-tragedy-an-answered-prayer-2-1280x720.png 1280w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/01\/In-the-aftermath-of-tragedy-an-answered-prayer-2-640x360.png 640w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/01\/In-the-aftermath-of-tragedy-an-answered-prayer-2-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/01\/In-the-aftermath-of-tragedy-an-answered-prayer-2-360x203.png 360w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/01\/In-the-aftermath-of-tragedy-an-answered-prayer-2-850x478.png 850w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/01\/In-the-aftermath-of-tragedy-an-answered-prayer-2-1140x641.png 1140w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/01\/In-the-aftermath-of-tragedy-an-answered-prayer-2.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2018\/01\/In-the-aftermath-of-tragedy-an-answered-prayer-2-1280x720.png\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-31172\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maryann visits Patrick and his family three months after Typhoon Haiyan. (&copy;2014 World Vision\/photo by Maryann Zamora)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&ldquo;As soon as I found them, after five days of searching for them, I knelt down and raised my hands thanking God for answering our prayer. At that time, ma&rsquo;am, I was about to give up and gave myself another three days to look for them. I was just praying that in case I couldn&rsquo;t find them that they would just be safe,&rdquo; Patrick told me in the restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>I asked him where his family was now living, and Patrick said, &ldquo;We live in a World Vision-covered area, and my family received relief goods from World Vision. We are very thankful to receive them. I wouldn&rsquo;t have known where to look for food for my children if World Vision hadn&rsquo;t helped us.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>When I heard him say those words, I asked to visit his family.<\/p>\n<p>A short time later, I visited Patrick&rsquo;s home, catching him as he was hanging his children&rsquo;s clothes to dry. I met 4-year-old CJ and 2-year-old James Patrick. I greeted his wife Ana Rose who had just come from washing the laundry along the river, a few meters away from their small makeshift house covered with a tarpaulin.<\/p>\n<p>Ana Rose shared how they survived after Typhoon Haiyan.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We had been hungry for almost a week. Most of the time, for days after the typhoon, my neighbors would just share a plate of rice for the four of us, but of course we couldn&rsquo;t eat much because our priority was for our children. We didn&rsquo;t care if we are hungry as long as our children were not.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The good thing is <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.worldvision.org\/content\/photoblog-smiles-relief\">World Vision came and gave us relief goods<\/a> with 30 kilograms of rice [66 pounds], sardines, and kitchen utensils. They gave us blankets, mosquito nets, and a tarpaulin that we use as our roof because our house was totally damaged by the strong winds during Typhoon Yolanda [local name of Typhoon Haiyan]. We really didn&rsquo;t know how we would have survived if World Vision didn&rsquo;t help us. Thank you so much to all of you and to God for helping us to survive and for keeping our family complete,&rdquo; Ana Rose said.<\/p>\n<p>Hours after leaving Patrick&rsquo;s home, I could feel God&rsquo;s presence even in the aftermath of the storm. Truly, God is real. God answers prayers and never forsakes his children.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you, Lord, for this answered prayer.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><em>When you sponsor a child, you become an answered prayer for a family and bless them long-term. <a href=\"\/sponsor-a-child?CL=0233&amp;campaign=3060090\"><strong>Choose a child to sponsor in the Philippines today!<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Read more from the <a href=\"\/blog\">World Vision blog<\/a> here, and comment below with a prayer of praise for Patrick!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Typhoon Haiyan devastated the Philippines in 2013, World Vision staff member Maryann Zamora witnessed an answered prayer for Patrick, a young father of two.
