Chile Earthquake Aftermath #15

¡¡The Church in Chile thanks to God is on its feet, and at the same time we are on our knees as we continue in prayer!!

"God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early." Psalm 46:5

The words of Psalm 46 continue being an inspiration for us. The presence of God toward His children, toward the faithful remainder here in Chile, has been a beautiful reality that fills us with the Spirit, trust and excitement.

We have been in communication with our families in the south and in Curicó. The family Villalobos is enduring great suffering. Our sister María Isabel has been in vigil for nine days. Just yesterday she could finally sleep. She has informed me that they still have not found the body of Fanny, the wife of her dead nephew.

Please Pray: For those who still suffer, especially for our fellow Christian family - the Villalobos. Pray that our good God will allow them to find the body of Fanny and to give an appropriate burial.

The effects of the great earthquake and tsunami are felt in all the areas. When the destruction has claimed buildings of companies, buildings of offices, and fires in big Supermarkets, it has caused a situation of growing deprivation. This has caused a shortage of provisions in all the affected areas and the prices of all the articles have dramatically increased. Our resources to help are limited, with many of ourselves also affected.

Please Pray: Let us pray for provision of God and resources to help those who are in need. In the same way, pray for generous hearts that are motivated to give in faith.

We commend ourselves under the care of our God in everything. Tomorrow we plan to leave Santiago to provide help in the south. Please pray for us and also for protection on our homes.

If you feel in if heart to help with some of our necessities recommends him to coordinate with their pastors or to communicate to this same mail to guide you appropriately.

With love in Christ,

Pastor David Horta S.

P.S. Thanks to all those that have written us a note and they share in our sense of urgency
