(Worthy News) – Evangelical Christians in Valencia on the eastern coast of Spain have called for prayer support in the aftermath of last week’s catastrophic flooding that caused the deaths of at least 205 people, Christian Daily International (CDI) reports.

“Amid the adversity, Christian leaders have highlighted the importance of providing spiritual support to those affected. “We must unite and pray for our community and our brothers in Christ,” they emphasized, calling on the entire Evangelical community to come together in prayer and support,” CDI attested in its report.
In a statement of condolence, the Federation of Evangelical Religious Entities of Spain (FEREDE) said: “We share in the pain of so many families who today mourn their loved ones, praying that God’s comfort and peace may reach and embrace them in this difficult moment.
