Pakistan (MNN) ― Mission Aviation Fellowship's humanitarian subsidiary PACTEC reports that the first emergency communication center is up and running from Pakistan's quake zone.
The VSAT satellite connection has been operational for a few days now in the center. The PACTEC team chose to put it in a Muzaffarabad refugee camp between the United Nations and several other Non-Governmental Organizations.
Because of the partnership of a similar nature in Banda Aceh, the UN is using the emergency communications facility to do their reporting on the much-needed data they're trying to collect and disseminate.
MAF's PACTEC team is much appreciated because they've provided a way to get information out of the disaster zone as winter sets in. A second site in Balokot is on the way to becoming operational.
Pray for the teams as they serve the needs in this region, that they will be able to share the hope of Christ.
