Chile Update

Again, thank you to all who have been calling, e-mailing and praying. Claudia's family is well. We managed to talk to Cristy on Sunday and Barbara today and Claudia got to web chat with Chabe a little while ago. We haven't been able to talk with her parents yet but know they are fine. We are also trying to get news from Reneuvo, our church in Rancagua. The YWAM base in Pichilemu is fine although we have reports that the waves caused by the quake devistated the lower lying areas. Please continue to pray for the needs in Chile, but do not forget the needs in Haiti. Although the quake was 500 times the strength of Haitis, the Chilean death toll is under 800 thus far. We grieve for those who have lost loved ones but thank the Lord for his mercy in sparing life. More soon.

For some of the pictures of the damage in Chile see CNN's site.
