[Christianity Today] 16 Jan 2009--The Archbishops of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa New Zealand have appealed for prayer after Fiji was hit in the last week by the worst floods in decades.

Although the floodwaters are starting to subside, the death toll has risen to 11 and 9,000 people remain displaced from their homes. They are staying in churches and more than 130 emergency shelters set up across the South Pacific island nation.
