Super Cyclone Amphan, the strongest recorded storm in the Bay of Bengal, made landfall in West Bengal on May 20 with 115 mph hurricane-force winds. Millions left their homes to seek safety, yet evacuation efforts were hampered by the coronavirus pandemic and social distancing restrictions.

Storm surges, flash flooding and heavy winds are still putting millions at risk—including many impoverished families whose mud or thatch homes could easily be destroyed, if they haven't been already. Thousands of our congregations are suffering, and many have lost their church buildings.

GFA workers were on the ground stocking up supplies before the cyclone hit and are moving into action to bring relief as soon as possible.

With a wide reach 59 churches and several GFA Bridge of Hope centers in the West Bengal islands, we are in a unique position to provide aid where others cannot.
