Chile Quake updates


I just got off the phone with "Obispo Sanchez" of the Free Methodist Church in Chile. He reported to me on many of their buildings having been destroyed and "entire costal towns swept away" by the resulting tidal waves from Saturday's Earth Quake. Despite the suffering he did aproach this with a faith filled humor in telling me: "We have been raising funds to rebuild one of our churches and were about half way to our goal before the quake. But the Lord must want us to do it faster, because He decided to tear the old building down ahead of our schedule!".

I also received an very brief e-mail from our home church in Rancagua, Renuevo. They report that "various families have lost their homes" but thankfully they did not report any loss of life. Please keep Chile, the pastors and the churches in your prayers. Pray for faith and strength for the pastors as they care for their congregations and pray for that same faith and strength for the congregations as they seek to express the Lord's love to the surrounding community.
