Just a first few days after the earthquake, we took a group of eight men from our church into the hardest hit regions of Chile to deliver food and medicine.  We made contact with two pastors who helped distribute the supplies to neediest in the area.

While in the city of Concepción, we also handed out more than 25,000 gospel tracks to the survivors of the tragic quake.   Their hearts were definitely open and tender to the gospel after having been abruptly reminded of the brevity of life.

Please continue to pray that God will use these events to bring more people to a personal relationship with Jesus.

We also want to thank all those who have given to the Chile Earthquake Relief project!!  I’ll post another update soon to show you all that we were able to do with your donations!

Thankfully no one in our family was hurt!  As far as we know, no one in our church was injured either.

Be praying that God will use this tragedy to bring many people to Him.  As we drove to the church just a couple of hours ago, we passed dozens of people who were standing in the streets in a state of confusion and shock.  Others have pitched tents in the parks because of structural damage to their homes.  This afternoon we’re having a special prayer service at the church, and tomorrow we’re having 2 morning services and one afternoon service.  Pray will us that many people will come to know the Lord through this difficult time.

We are still without electricity and internet in our home.  Phone connections and cellphone coverage has been spotty throughout the morning.  We’ll give you more updates during the next few days.
