While much needed rain has helped the bushfire situation in Australia, it’s not quelled the flames entirely—firefighters continue to courageously do the work of ending the fires. We have a number of readers and even a staff member who lives in Australia, and we emphasize the need to help if you can and pray for their well-being, as well as for the devastating ecological consequences.
Australian artist, 葉凡, has drawn a series of illustrations related to the fires with an anime twist that we’re sharing here—another to bring awareness to the on-going catastrophe.
