Text from this PhotoShow:

Six months ago, Pastor Shantha sat on what remained of his house after the tsunami stuck his village on December 26. His wife, Thresa, his daughter, Sridevi, and his mother-in-law were all lost in the destructive waves.
Pastor Shantha and his son, Nuri, are slowly recovering. The pile of rubble that was his house has since been cleared. He has given the land to his sister-in-law's family to build a new house.
Today Pastor Shanta is able to smile. His trust and dependence on the Lord have carried him through the last few months.
During the week, Nuri stays with his aunt and uncle where he is able to attend school and play with his cousins.
During the weekends Nuri stays with his dad where he relishes the time they can spend together.
Pastor Shantha appreciates the hospitality at his sister's home, which was spared, although it was flooded by the tsunami. Pastor Shantha is trusting the Lord to provide for his housing needs.
Today, Pastor Shantha has resumed his ministry activities, fulfilling his commitment to serve God no matter what. The Lord continues to give him strength to minister to his people despite his losses.
There is still an empty place in Shantha and Nuri's hearts for their lost loved ones. Nuri treasures this photo of his mother, sister and grandmother.
