"God's Perfect Timing | Christian Reformed Church...December 2019, a 6.8 earthquake rocked Davao del Sur, Mindanao, Philippines." World Renew committed to respond to this disaster and expected to have a team in Davao del Sur by March 2020. But due to travel restrictions put in place to slow the spread of COVID-19, relief efforts had to be delayed. During all these delays, World Renew's International Project Manager Jeff Cosico was impatient to address the recovery needs of Mindanaoans. Finally, with COVID-19 restrictions lifted in October 2020, he rallied a team to travel to the region."
