Chile Earthquake Aftermath #13

Dear Brother:

Fraternal greetings in the mercy of God.

We have just arrived at our house, tired by a long, but renovated day and strengthened in the service to God.

Our churches have begun the special week of prayer for our nation, likewise we are projected to an intense new week of work. We will begin with the purchase of provisions to go in the needy of the churches. We will attend to needs of our church in Curicó and to the brothers in the city of Constitution.

The multitude of earthquake aftershocks seems to be continuous. We have had several again today, but we try to follow our life "Normal", I have listened scientific news that point out that it is very partícular what happens. There is a page that you/they can be continued in real time the earthquakes - http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Maps/region/S_America_eqs.php

We have estimated that $12.000.000 USD is what we will need to repair the buildings of the First, Third and Fourth churches. This will only allow the start of the first stage of rebuilding for the Fourth church which has been destroyed.

We thank you for your permanent disposition to collaborate and to help with the mission in Chile, my father-in-law always pointed out the condition of your generous heart. Please of my greetings and gratitude to your dear wife for her help.

At this time we have ended up our second period of prayer. I desire to request special prayer for Cecilia. The strong aftershocks raises depression and dissipation. We were concerned, but today thanks to God, she was already at my side working in the church.

Please greet all the faithful in Christ Jesus that share in prayer the situation that we are living in Chile. Also to those that have given offering through Siloam International.

A fraternal hug in Christ.

"For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
