Earthquake Update #2

As most know from our communications last night or the news this morning, Peru was hit by it's strongest earthquake in 30 years, last night.

The 7.9 magnitude quake hit shortly after supper time and currently appears to have killed hundreds and injured thousands. Thousands of people are homeless outside of Lima and families still trying to communicate with their loved ones. Many slept in parks, public squares and their cars in fear of aftershocks last night, a decision that, with the current winter temperatures may heighten the death toll.

Again, we are fine. We felt the quake very strongly. I was upstairs with Shaylee ad Dena was downstairs feeding Micaiah. We grabbed the kids and got into doorway where we rode out the almost 2 minutes of shaking.

We will do our best to keep our friends and supporters updated as well as post any relevant information regarding if and how the North American Church, and idividuals, can participate in relief efforts.

We will be contacting our National Superintendent for the Wesleyan Church this morning in prayer that our churches and members are safe.
