The following is from a report by Marvin Ancell which will give you better news about the fires and the Christians involved:
Down south there has been at least 138 deaths with the total loss of 780 homes, so far. We know that the congregational building in Yakandandah is threatened with some of the members cut off from one another but all seem to be safe. It is the worst fire storm in Australian history, with the brunt of it being down in and around Melbourne. It has even got very close to the northern part of the city where many members of the church live and work. At this moment, no one in the church has lost anything that we know of.
